Render (RENDER) Shows 23% Surge As Sharks & Whales Continue To Buy
Render (RENDER) Shows 23% Surge As Sharks & Whales Continue To Buy Render has shown a sharp jump of more than 23% during the last week as on-chain data shows the large hands have continued to buy. Render Has Enjoyed Bullish Momentum Over The Past Week The cryptocurrency sector as a whole has witnessed an uplift recently, but Render has been among the altcoins that have really stood out from the rest. Whereas Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have only seen weekly profits of around 3% and 9%, respectively, RENDER has shown an impressive 23% jump. The below chart shows how the recent performance of the asset has been like.

In terms of the market cap, the asset has seen its valuation touch $3.3 billion, placing it at the 29th place on the top cryptocurrencies list.

Though, considering the 18% difference in their valuations, it wouldn’t be an easy task for RENDER, especially since PEPE generally shows a notable rise of its own when the market goes up. As for what could be behind the latest growth that the cryptocurrency has enjoyed, perhaps on-chain data can provide some hints. Sharks & Whales Have Been Busy Buying The Token Recently According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the Render sharks and whales have participated in some considerable accumulation during the last eleven weeks. The indicator of relevance here is the “Supply Distribution,” which tells us about the amount of supply that a given wallet group on the network is holding right now. In the context of the current topic, the cohort containing addresses who own at least 100,000 tokens is of interest. At the current price of the coin, this cutoff is equivalent to just under $650,000, which is a significant amount. As such, this group corresponds to the large hands of the market, popularly known as the sharks and whales. Below is the chart shared by the analytics firm, which shows how the Supply Distribution for these investors carrying 100,000+ coins has changed over the last few months: The value of the metric appears to have been going up in recent weeks | Source: Santiment on XFrom the graph, it’s apparent that the supply held by the Render sharks and whales has witnessed a considerable increase over the last eleven or so weeks. More specifically, these investors have added 20.54 million tokens to their wallets, equivalent to 3.7% of the total supply. The buying spree from this cohort has continued during the latest price surge and thus, could be at least a factor behind why it has taken place. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, CoinMarketCap.com, chart from TradingView.com Keshav Verma Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021. Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to. In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions. Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true. Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment.. Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form. Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new. As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money. Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs. Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
