Chiliz offers consistent gains to whales, massive bull run in CHZ

Chiliz is the 46th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and a trending altcoin among whales. Large wallet investors increased their activity in the altcoin, CHZ, with transactions valued at $100,000 and more hitting a peak since March. 

Chiliz announced the launch of its layer-2 scaling solution Chiliz Chain 2.0, a semi-decentralized blockchain for sports and media organizations. The launch of the scaling solution’s public testnet, “The Scoville”, has triggered a bullish sentiment among holders. Over the past 30 days, CHZ has yielded nearly 150% gains for Chiliz holders. 

Shiba Inu, the second largest meme coin in the crypto community, was marked as a favorite of whales on the Ethereum network. However, of late, whales have shed their Shiba Inu holdings and pulled capital out of the meme coin. 

Shiba Inu has dropped to fifth place among altcoins in the holdings of top 500 Ethereum whales.

As whales reallocate this capital to other cryptocurrencies, CHZ has emerged as an obvious choice with “The Scoville” around the corner. Chiliz’s network upgrade, double-digit weekly yield and massive price rally have fueled the bullish sentiment in the crypto community. Crypto intelligence tracker Santiment marked the uptick in whale activity in the chart below.

Chiliz price could explode, 400% rally by 2023?

Christian, a leading crypto analyst and trader evaluated the Chiliz price chart and predicted a large fifth wave on a large timeframe. Christian applied the Elliott Wave Theory to the Chiliz price chart and noted that the first four waves are complete. Subwaves of the fifth wave are hard to predict; however, it is likely that the first two subwaves are complete.
