Over the same period, whale transactions totaled $10.94M in purchases versus $2.66M in sales, involving 1,493 unique whale traders. Despite this concentrated buying interest, the market’s total volume stands at $132.45M, reflecting widespread trading activity across the event.
The market is part of the larger “World Cup Winner” event, which includes 50 markets, has seen $3.96B in lifetime volume, and counts 151,644 traders. Within this event, the single largest trader accounts for 4.9% of total volume, underscoring the impact of major participants.
