+First time on the top traders desk?
The desk runs its own numbers and publishes its calls next to the account that trades them. The short route:
Whale Accumulation
We track the on-chain stacks of named holders: funds, treasury companies, market makers and individuals, not anonymous addresses. This ranks them by how much their holdings grew or shrank in 24 hours. Exchanges are excluded (that's custody, not conviction). The tell is the outlier: a holder moving far more than the market is the one actually adding or trimming.

▼ Stacks shrinking
How to read a row → MicroStrategy · $46B · +$820M · +1.8%: this named treasury holds ~$46B on-chain and its stack grew ~$820M (+1.8%) in 24h. On a green day everyone's up, so compare it to the market. A holder moving far more than the tape is the one actually adding.
How to read it
Where it breaks: on custody. An exchange balance rising is depositors arriving, not the venue taking a side, so those rows are flow and not accumulation. Attribution is the second failure mode. An entity map can be wrong or stale, and a wallet can be a bridge, a market maker's inventory or a cold-storage rotation. One day of movement is an observation; it becomes a trigger only alongside price and funding.
Triggers, not calls. 24h holdings change blends real accumulation with price moves; treat outliers, not the whole list, as flow. Data is real on-chain entity value, exchanges excluded, past behaviour ≠ future.
