On-chain data shows whales are sending their Bitcoin from spot exchanges to derivatives, indicating that they are building up their positions. Bitcoin Whales Build Up Their Positions On Derivative Exchanges As pointed out by a CryptoQuant post, Bitcoin whales seem to be moving their crypto from spot exchanges to derivative exchanges.
