Are you familiar with the concept of cold wallets held by exchanges? https://www.longhash.com/en/news/3257/A-New-Way-of-Measuring...


I am. What's your point?

If you don't think crypto, an anonymous unregulated security, is being manipulated by a small amount of people then I have a bridge to sell you.


I think that OP's point was likely that many of these wallets are actually cold wallets for exchanges and institutions, rather than individual whales. The article's definition of whales is pretty loose anyway: "individuals who hold their assets in digital wallets and not on an exchange".
