In the cryptocurrency markets, whale transactions and controversial prediction market movements have been observed in the last 24 hours.
According to on-chain data, addresses associated with Paradigm unstake 16,000 ETH (approximately $50 million) and deposit it into the Coinbase exchange in the last 24 hours. During the same period, address 0x4553, identified as an early Ethereum investor, exchanged 7,828 ETH ($24.6 million) for 269 WBTC in the last two hours.
A controversial incident has come to light at the Polymarket prediction market. Three “insider” wallets reportedly made predictions that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro would step down just hours before his arrest, earning a total profit of $630,484.
It is stated that the three wallets in question were created and funded days in advance, made high-value predictions immediately before the arrest, and have no other prediction history other than those related to Venezuela/Maduro. This situation is being interpreted by market participants as suspicion of insider trading.
