Hello guys, I am back with another Whale Wallet Analysis for your pleasure and research.
I have previously conducted a similar analysis for AMPL, SNX, BASED, LINK, YFI, YFV, UNI, and WBTC - and they were quite well received, so I would love to continue this series for you.
The OGN rich list is accessible on the Etherscan page for anyone to see.
As always, I have ignored all the contract addresses or any exchanges that might have holdings. In addition to this, I have ignored whales solely holding OGN as I am more interested in what other DeFi tokens they might be holding.
In this analysis, I had to include a number of whales that hold less than $100K OGN but hold substantial amounts of other assets.
Following is a list of hand-picked OGN whales that I found - I hope you find it interesting;

Conclusion
Origin Protocol whales are extremely interesting to me. First of all, the majority of them are not lending to earn interest nor are farming any sort of DeFi protocol. On top of this, they seem to have a wide range of different tokens that they are all investing in. The typical coins here seem to be $NMR, $ENJ, $LINK, and $ZRX.
