Major Sales by Chun Wang and Wolfgang Albrecht
Chun Wang continued his large-scale liquidations, selling 300,000 LDO for 518,000 USDT. Since early 2025, he has offloaded 5.8 million LDO for $10.27 million USDT at an average price of $1.771. He now holds 2.2 million LDO, valued at $3.81 million.
Similarly, Wolfgang Albrecht deposited 2.6 million LDO ($4.51 million) to Binance, breaking a year-long silence. Having previously vested 3.33 million LDO, he has now sold 3.28 million at an average price of $1.895, leaving only 50,000 LDO ($87,000) in his portfolio. These moves suggest strategic exits or portfolio realignments.
How Whales Influence LDO’s Price
Large holders play a crucial role in shaping market sentiment. Whale sell-offs often create downward pressure, leading to short-term price drops. Albrecht’s recent deposit signals a potential liquidity shift, historically preceding price corrections or heightened volatility.
The influx of LDO into exchanges suggests that holders may be preparing to liquidate further. If demand fails to absorb the selling pressure, LDO could face downward momentum. However, accumulation by other investors might stabilize the market. Tracking whale activity remains essential for understanding broader trends.
Technical Indicators and Market Sentiment
LDO is currently in a consolidation phase following previous price swings. The MACD histogram has flattened, indicating weakening momentum. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 46.87, reflecting a neutral market stance. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains at 49, highlighting a balanced sentiment, with traders awaiting clearer signals before making moves.
Despite volatility, investor interest remains steady, with active LDO addresses reaching 48,000 by mid-February.
LDO price volatility remains high, with the 30-day volatility peaking at 148.68% in early February before declining to 122.06%. Historically, such volatility spikes precede sharp price movements.

Traders should closely monitor whale activity and key support levels. If LDO maintains stability, a breakout could follow. However, continued selling pressure may trigger further declines. Market participants should stay informed and adjust their strategies accordingly.
