Whale watch
The most notable identified wallets in crypto — exchange custody, ETFs and treasury companies, funds and market makers, individuals, and sanctioned actors — ranked by live on-chain holdings with a desk read on each. Real on-chain attribution, refreshed daily. Exchange balances are customer custody, not the venue's own bet; we say so on every profile.
The positions the desk actually holds. Not live yet — we publish the call first, then the book.

How this is built
Balances come from aggregated on-chain entity data — every wallet on-chain attribution assigns to a named entity, summed across chains and priced live. This list is curated named wallets across categories: exchange custody, ETFs and treasury companies, funds and market makers, individuals, and sanctioned actors. Exchange balances are overwhelmingly customer custody, not the venue's own directional bet — each profile says so. Figures are USD and move with price; cross-checked against Etherscan V2 (EVM) and Helius (Solana). Attribution is on-chain and can be imperfect. For a raw ranked list, see the Top-100 leaderboard.
