Crypto News Jan 24: Whales didn’t buy bitcoin dips in the last recession with Core Scientific, BabyDoge, Azuro, CBDC, NFT News
Based on the claim that whales are not buying bitcoin dips, the Central Bank of Korea has completed the first phase of its CBDC pilot program. Here are some highlights from the crypto market.
Bitcoin News
Morgan Creek co-founder Digital Anthony Pompliano examines key on-chain indicators to determine whether or not Bitcoin (BTC) whales are accumulating the highest crypto asset trading near $30,000.
In the latest episode of the Best Business Show, Pompliano said Bitcoin whales largely stood on the sidelines during the sharp correction, causing BTC to lose more than 50% of its value in two months.
“There is still a lack of large customers. On-chain whales, units with more than 1,000 bitcoins, they just don’t buy. Basically, purchasing power is just moving sideways… So even though prices are going up and down, we’re still only seeing sideways movement.”
Bitcoin Bull Says Whales Must Start Accumulating BTC for Price to Start Climbing
“Normally, for BTC price to trend up, whale activity has to trend up. Whales start buying, and then the price follows. This means that we should not expect BTC price to rise until we see increased whale buying activity.”
Pompliano also examines actual profit/loss metrics that track whether bitcoin holders are selling at a loss or making a profit. According to Morgan Creek CEO, Bitcoin’s abandonment phase seems to be coming to an end.
Pompliano is also tracking Bitcoin’s supply on the yield metric and says there are blinking signs that BTC may be bottoming out.
Bitcoin is currently changing hands at $33,900, down more than 18 percent from its seven-day high of $43,308.

NFT News
Have the NBA NFT Top Shots by DapperLabs growth starting June 2021, following a $305 million investment round in early 2021.
NFT is still booming despite the recent plunge in the crypto market. OpenSea had revenue of $3.5 billion in January 2022. The Dapper Labs NFT NBA Top Shot Collection launched in October 2020. Top Shot was originally aimed at people who would buy it in USD. In other words, collectors don’t need to know the intricacies of cryptocurrency and blockchain to own these NFTs.
According to recent data from CryptoSlam, Top Shot NFT raised $53.8 million, up 72% over the past 30 days. A media and television campaign featuring NBA star Kevin Durant was launched this week. First-time purchasers of Top Shot will receive a free Durant NFT moment.
User converted McDonald’s job application to NFT collection
While crypto holders are “on the sidelines” while the market sells, someone has turned applications from McDonald’s employees into a collection of NFTs.
Anyone who has been interested in crypto for a while and has been involved with Twitter or any other crypto community must have come across these McDonald’s memes. Most memes about the American fast food chain usually suggest that if prices continue to fall, crypto traders will have to work at McDonald’s or get a job.
Interestingly, a particular meme about McDonald’s sharing job applications with crypto traders during last June’s market crash became an NFT.
