A dónde va el dinero grande.
Exchanges, whales, funds and the best traders: what they do with their money right now and what it means for you. No numbers for their own sake: every picture comes with a conclusion and how to use it.

Are coins leaving exchanges or arriving? It is the first sign of buying or selling ahead.

Which exchange is money flowing into, and which one is it leaving?
Sign in to open- What you see
- Each tower is an exchange. The taller it is, the more client money sits on it. Glowing cubes on top show how much money came in (green) or left (red) over the chosen period.
- Por qué importa
- People move money to an exchange to trade. A sudden inflow means a lot of buying or selling is coming. Outflows mean people take coins to their own wallets to hold.
- How to use it
- A big inflow with a falling price often means selling is being prepared: do not rush to buy. Steady outflows usually come before a rise, when coins are put away for the long run.
Big transfers and what they mean
Who moved millions in the last day, where, and whether it can push the price.
Sign in to open- How to use it
- Each transfer is labelled: can it push the price down or support it. One transfer decides nothing. A signal appears when several go the same way, for example a few big bitcoin deposits to exchanges within an hour.
Who bought and who sold this week
Funds, ETFs and well-known people: who really bought and who sold, net of price moves.
Sign in to open- What is counted
- How much the big players really bought or sold over 7 days. We removed the price effect: a cheaper bitcoin does not count as a sale.
- Por qué importa
- Funds and ETFs move the market with their size. When they buy for weeks, the price has support. When they sell, rallies usually fade.
- How to use it
- Check whether the funds go the same way as your trade. You can buy while the big players sell, but then use a smaller size and a stop.
Where the best traders of the month are betting
Are the best traders long or short right now? And where they get liquidated.
Sign in to open- What you see
- The most profitable traders of the month on Hyperliquid, where every trade is public. Bets on a rise (long) on the left, on a fall (short) on the right. The knot moves to the side with more money.
- Por qué importa
- These people made the most money last month. Their positions show where experienced money is looking right now.
- How to use it
- Do not trade against everyone with high leverage. But remember: when almost everyone is on one side, the market likes to turn against the crowd. The liquidation price under each position shows where they are forced out.
- What we do not know
- They may hold opposite positions elsewhere. We removed market makers (accounts with dozens of positions).
They say one thing. What is in the wallet?
The richest people in crypto by their wallets
Only wallets Arkham has labelled with the person's name. Real wealth is usually larger: exchanges, stocks and property are not visible here.
Whose wallet is bigger, and which of our leaders holds what they recommend.

- If a blogger tells you to buy while selling himself this week, take it slow. If words and deeds match, the opinion deserves more trust. Each leader's wallet is also on their page in Crowd.
What people bet real money on
The odds of the Fed decision and where bitcoin goes, according to people who bet money.
Sign in to open- What it is
- Polymarket, a market where people bet real money on events. The price is the probability: 77 cents for yes means 77%.
- Por qué importa
- Bets with money are more honest than forecasts on social media: mistakes cost. The Fed rate decision moves all of crypto.
- How to use it
- If the market expects a hike, money gets more expensive and risky assets usually weaken. Keep it in mind before long-term buys.
