Crypto Whales Pocket $4B in Profits, A Biggest Exit Since February

whale8 14

On 29th August, the Bitcoin ($BTC) market shows a strategic shift as crypto whales cashed out a staggering amount of $4 billion in realized profits. This advancement marks the largest profit-taking event since February 2025. It excludes the anomaly of July 4, when realized profits hit nearly $9 billion. Through this sudden move, concerns came out about the crypto market’s short-term instability and potential selling pressure.

Crypto Whales Take the Charge of Profit Tsunami

The mega whales hold more than 10,000 BTC, shaking the bulk of realized profits. In this way, Mega whales have secured $2.17 billion, a massive profit. Meanwhile, large whales hold 1,000–10,000 BTC, booking an additional $1.25 billion. The smaller affluent investors secured BTC in the range of 100-1,000 BTC, walking away with some $495 million. This collective sell-off highlights the strategy of crypto whales, large Bitcoin holders, to dictate the market momentum.

This type of large-scale profit-taking occurs near local price peaks, capitalizing on long-term holders’ rallies to lock in gains. Whales may consider this behavior rational, but it affects the broader market. With this large-scale activity, retail traders experience volatility.

Short-Term Traders Exposed to Warning Signals

While observing this sharp profit surge, analysts advise short-term traders to consider it as a red flag. This observation showcases the consolidation phase or potential corrections. This movement further refers to the transfer of Bitcoin from strong hands to weaker hands. Through this phenomenon, the crypto market experiences more vulnerability to sudden swings. 

This phenomenal shift can not be considered as the beginning of a prolonged downturn. The collective act of whales can make quick sentiment shifts with this timing and sell-off strategy. Now, whale wallets are the main source of indications to consider an event as one-off profit-taking or the beginning of a broader selling trend.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
