Why Track Crypto Whales?

Crypto whales — large holders and traders with enough capital to move markets — often have superior information and resources. By tracking their activity, retail traders can:

Identify which direction large capital is positioned
Anticipate price moves before they happen
Mirror profitable traders with a proven track record
Detect early signs of distribution (selling) or accumulation (buying)

premium wallet-intelligence platforms charges $150/month for whale tracking. CryptoPulse24 provides it free.

Method 1: Hyperliquid Leaderboard (Best for Derivatives)

Hyperliquid is a decentralised perpetual futures exchange that publicly discloses all trading data. Its leaderboard ranks traders by all-time PnL, providing a real-time view of the most profitable traders in crypto derivatives.

CryptoPulse24's Whale Tracker page shows the top 100 Hyperliquid traders with:

Total PnL (all time)
Current open positions
Win rate
Largest trades
Trading style (scalper, swing, position trader)

When multiple top-ranked traders are simultaneously long BTC, this is a strong bullish signal. When they are collectively short, treat it as a bearish signal.

Method 2: Ethereum On-Chain Whale Tracking

Ethereum's blockchain is fully public. Every transaction by every wallet is visible forever. CryptoPulse24 tracks wallets holding 1,000+ ETH and alerts when:

Large amounts move FROM cold wallets TO exchanges (potential sell signal)
Large amounts move FROM exchanges TO cold wallets (accumulation/hold signal)
New whale-sized wallets appear (large buyer entering market)

Method 3: Bitcoin Exchange Inflow/Outflow

When large Bitcoin amounts move onto exchanges, it often signals intent to sell (bearish). When Bitcoin moves off exchanges to private wallets, it signals long-term holding (bullish). CryptoPulse24 tracks this metric in real time on the whale tracker page.

How to Mirror Whale Trades

The key to copying whale trades profitably is position sizing and timing. Whales trade enormous size — simply copying their direction with appropriate retail sizing is the strategy.
