<p lang="en-GB">Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez has published a post on his X account, revealing Glassnode data about the most recent acquisitions of BTC whales. The chart that he shared shows a drastic plunge in the Bitcoin supply on centralized exchanges (CEXes), starting on Nov. 5.</p>
<p lang="en-GB">Martinez summarized this data by saying that over the past week, large whales have withdrawn a total of 40,000 BTC, which is equal to a whopping $3.28 billion.</p>

<p lang="en-GB">CZ warned the crypto community that they should “control their greed.” There will be many highs and dips for Bitcoin in the future, he tweeted, stressing the necessity to “apply proper risk management.” The influencer also recommended not putting all of one's eggs in one basket.</p>
