Governments (e.g., US ~210,000 BTC from seizures) hold large amounts but rarely trade actively. Broader Picture Major trades today are driven more by institutional flows (ETFs, corporates like Strategy, hedge funds) than pure anonymous whales. Exchanges like Binance and Coinbase route most retail/institutional order flow, while OTC desks handle the biggest whale/institutional deals off-exchange to minimize slippage. Large sells from over-leveraged positions or ETF outflows can cascade, but no one "controls" Bitcoin outright—the market is still shaped by supply/demand across thousands of participants.

🚨 New "Double-Clone" Scam: How $100,000+ Was Stolen Inside a Real OTC Office Crypto scammers have reached a new level of sophistication. A recent victim lost 10 million rubles (~$110,000) in a scheme that combines fake Telegram accounts with real-life visits to legitimate OTC (Over-the-Counter) desks. How the "Man-in-the-Middle" Scheme Works: The Hook: You find an exchange service on Telegram and agree to a cash-to-crypto deal at their physical office for safety.The Clone: While you are on your way, the scammer creates a perfect replica of your Telegram profile (same photo, name, and bio) and contacts the real exchange staff, pretending to be you.The Switch: In the office, everyone thinks they are talking to each other. However, due to the scammer's manipulation, you send your wallet address to the scammer, and the scammer sends their own address to the staff.The Illusion: The scammer acts as a bridge. When the staff sends a "test" 10 USDT, it goes to the scammer, who instantly forwards it to you. You see the deposit, trust the process, and hand over the bulk cash.The Heist: The staff sends the remaining large sum to the address provided by the "clone" (the scammer). By the time the mistake is realized, the funds are laundered and gone. Why is it so dangerous? The use of a legitimate office creates a false sense of security. You feel safe because you are physically there, but your digital communication is being hijacked. How to Stay Safe: Verify Usernames: Double-check Telegram @usernames character by character. Scammers often swap "l" for "I" or "0" for "O".Live Verification: While in the office, ask the staff to send a voice note or show you their screen to ensure you are both in the same chat folder.Use QR Codes Only: Never copy-paste addresses from messengers. Show your wallet QR code directly from your device for the staff to scan on the spot. Stay vigilant! In crypto, once the transaction is confirmed, there is no turning back. 🛡️ #ScamAlert #CryptoSecurity #OTC #BinanceSquare #SafetyFirst {spot}(TONUSDT)

A client asked me to handle a serious challenge: buying $330K worth of Bitcoin 🪙… but with zero market impact. This wasn’t your everyday retail trade — this was a real OTC stress test where execution speed and liquidity matter the most ⏱️.

So, I put it to the test:
➡️ Same trade size

💡 And the results? Let’s just say one exchange clearly proved why it’s the go-to for deep liquidity and lightning-fast execution 🚀. The difference was eye-opening…

Guys, we talked about $OM entering a bit more into the limbo of MANTRA, it is important to bring a third scenario that helps to understand what may have happened: the OTC practice. We are not here to judge whether there was or was not direct involvement from the MANTRA team, but to clarify how this dynamic works. During the expansion period, MANTRA established several partnerships with large financial institutions — and in many cases, these "partnerships" mean investments made outside of the open market, through OTC operations. In practice, an institution invests directly in the project, receiving millions of tokens in exchange. These tokens function almost like a collateral loan: the investor can sell them whenever they want, and the project hardly has the cash to buy them back. When these liquidations occur en masse, the graphic impact is inevitable — and the public tends to blame the development team. The truth is that many projects resort to OTC as a way to ensure financial breathing room to continue their deliveries. The problem is that there is not always transparency about these transactions, and the smaller investor ends up being caught by surprise when they see the graph plummet. The doubt will always persist!!! #om #OTC #FOMO $OM

100% anti-freeze and safe withdrawal in the cryptocurrency circle, the Nth issue!Hong Kong Trust Although some trust companies have a threshold of only 100,000 U.S. dollars, this method is actually only suitable for people with more than 2 million U.S. dollars. First of all, don't think of Hong Kong trusts as financial products like mainland trusts. It is mainly a legal framework. You give money to A, and A regularly transfers money to B. You are the principal, A is the trustee, and B is the beneficiary. Some people think that using offshore trusts to avoid taxes, avoid debts, protect privacy, and transfer money to children are the patents of billionaires, but in fact, ordinary people can also do it.

When Profit Turns Into Panic The Untold Side of Crypto Success The crypto market doesn’t really hurt when you lose money it hurts when you make it and can’t touch it. I’ve seen this happen too many times. One trader made $70,000 in USDT, withdrew it to his card, and hours later his bank froze every single non-cash transaction. The balance was there, but he couldn’t move a single cent. That’s when you realize the real risk isn’t the charts going red, it’s your money getting locked while you watch helplessly. This happens more often than people admit. Stolen or “tainted” funds pass through the system every day. A scammer sells stolen crypto for USDT, someone else buys it in good faith, and before long, those same funds end up in your wallet. When law enforcement traces it back, your account gets flagged even if you did nothing wrong. The worst part? You can fix it, but it’s exhausting. You’ll spend days sending screenshots, chat records, and payment proofs just to get your money back. That’s why smart traders take precautions before the trouble starts. Keep a separate card for OTC or peer trades. Always deal with verified sellers don’t chase a 1% discount that could cost you everything. And don’t rush big withdrawals; split them, label them properly, and move slow when needed. These details sound small, but they’re what separate panic from peace. In crypto, everyone wants to make money fast. But staying liquid and keeping what you earn takes real discipline. The next bull run will create winners again, but only the careful ones will still be holding their profits when it ends. This post is for educational purposes only. Not financial advice—always DYOR and manage risk. #CryptoSecurity #USDT #OTC #DEFİ #Web3 $BTC $ETH $XRP

One trader made $70,000 in USDT, withdrew it to his card, and hours later his bank froze every single non-cash transaction. The balance was there, but he couldn’t move a single cent. That’s when you realize the real risk isn’t the charts going red, it’s your money getting locked while you watch helplessly.

This happens more often than people admit. Stolen or “tainted” funds pass through the system every day. A scammer sells stolen crypto for USDT, someone else buys it in good faith, and before long, those same funds end up in your wallet. When law enforcement traces it back, your account gets flagged even if you did nothing wrong. The worst part? You can fix it, but it’s exhausting. You’ll spend days sending screenshots, chat records, and payment proofs just to get your money back.

That’s why smart traders take precautions before the trouble starts. Keep a separate card for OTC or peer trades. Always deal with verified sellers don’t chase a 1% discount that could cost you everything. And don’t rush big withdrawals; split them, label them properly, and move slow when needed. These details sound small, but they’re what separate panic from peace.

In crypto, everyone wants to make money fast. But staying liquid and keeping what you earn takes real discipline. The next bull run will create winners again, but only the careful ones will still be holding their profits when it ends.
