14. Whale Activity

    Investigating uniswap whale activity via total transaction volume based liquidity movements. Also taking a look at total transaction/swap volume. Comparing total transaction volume, increasing/decreasing positions, and swaps. Using only data after 5/15/2021 to specifically target the recent drop. Defining "whale" activity as any transaction/swap with a value of $100k USD or more. 6 charts total, broken down by the following: Total $100k+ liquidity increase/decrease transactions, daily and hourly breakdowns. (2 bar charts) Total $100k+ swap transactions, daily and hourly breakdowns. (2 bar charts) Total $100k+ liquidity transactions (increase + decrease added together), daily and hourly breakdowns. (2 bar charts) Notes - May 19th was the only day where liquidity decreasing transactions were greater than increasing. May 19th had the highest number of $100k+ swaps as well. I was surprised to see the total number of $100k+ liquidity transactions for May 19th did not stand out.
