Whales Start Shifting DEX Token Ahead of Massive $505,500,000 Unlock

Whales have started shifting a decentralized exchange altcoin ahead of a massive $505.5 million token unlock.

dYdX (DYDX), a decentralized exchange (DEX), migrated from Ethereum (ETH) to Cosmos (ATOM) and launched its own dYdX Chain last month.

The new chain was developed as a standalone blockchain based on the Cosmos SDK (software development kit) and Tendermint consensus protocol.

The project is slated to unlock 150 million DYDX on December 1st, according to the crypto tracker Lookonchain.

“On-chain data shows that the dYdX Foundation has sent tokens to investor addresses, including a16z crypto, Defiance Capital, and Polychain Capital.

However, we noticed that many investor addresses have bridged DYDX. For example, a16z crypto has bridged all 42.69 million DYDX ($143.87 million) through multiple addresses.

Currently, 437.4 million DYDX ($1.47 billion) has been bridged, accounting for 43.74% of the total supply. Since it is a one-way bridge, this 437.4 million DYDX will be permanently locked in the wethDYDX smart contract.”

The institutional trading platform FalconX withdrew a total of 1.14 million DYDX worth $3.84 million from the top crypto exchange Binance over a five-day period, according to Lookonchain.

Additionally, Lookonchain notes that a whale deposited 1.5 million DYDX worth more than $5 million to Binance last week.

DYDX is trading at $3.17 at time of writing.

Ethereum (ETH) price is aiming for $1,800 in February — Here is why

ETH price is finding support at $1,560 and multiple data points are beginning to hint at a possible rally to $1,800 before the end of February. Ether (ETH) has been struggling with the $1,680 resistance since Jan. 20. Still, the ascending triangle pattern and improvements in investor sentiment in ETH derivatives provides hope that Ether price could reach $1,800 or higher by the end of February. This, of course, depends on how the Ether price behaves as it reaches the pattern deadline by mid-February.  Ether/USD price index, 12-hour. Source: TradingView From one side, traders are relieved that Ether is trading up 33% year-to-date, but the repeated failures to break the $1,680 resistance coupled with negative newsflow might give bears the power to cancel the bullish triangle pattern. According to a Jan. 30 report from Axios, New York State's Department of Financial Services is reportedly investigating Cryptocurrency Exchange Gemini over claims that the firm made regarding assets in...
