Blockchain tracking firm Lookonchain says that whales – possibly institutional investors – are accumulating a decentralized exchange (DEX) altcoin.
According to Lookonchain, fresh wallets have been accumulating the native token of GMX (), a DEX that operates on the Arbitrum () and Avalanche () blockchains offering spot and leveraged trading.
The firm says the entity has already accumulated over $15 million worth of GMX from Binance.
“Whales/institutions are buying GMX, and the price of GMX has increased by ~24% in [two days].
Six fresh wallets withdrew a total of 344,502 GMX ($15.3 million) from BINANCE in [two days].
