Whale wallet receives $375M in stablecoins: Biggest direct on-chain investment yet?

Massive stablecoin transfer signals major whale movement—$375 million hits single wallet in one go.

On-chain activity spikes as crypto whales make their move. This isn't just another trade—it's a statement.

The numbers don't lie: $375 million in stablecoins flowing directly into one address. No intermediaries, no traditional finance gatekeepers—just pure blockchain execution.

While Wall Street still debates crypto adoption, the smart money bypasses the paperwork and goes straight to the chain. Because why wait for permission when you can just execute?

This move redefines what 'big money' looks like in DeFi—and traditional finance just got served notice.

Crypto companies shift to private rounds

The direct inflow of stablecoins into wallets coincides with the trend of undisclosed rounds. Currently, there are no known deals of this size. 

The direct on-chain inflows ranged between large-scale sums and transfers of 10-20 USDT. At this point, fundraising for crypto companies switched back to the IPO model, expecting significant rounds in 2025. 

Fundraising rounds currently use available reserves and involve vetted, later-stage companies, instead of early-stage crypto startups. 

Is on-chain fundraising coming? 

The recent transaction showed crypto reserves could be raised within hours. While the event remains anonymous and unannounced, it coincides with a recent expectation for an easier fundraising process. 

At this point, the raise for $375M is unprecedented and almost matches some of the biggest ICOs. 

The raise follows a recent statement by SEC Chairman Paul Atkins on the ability to raise funds on-chain without additional regulatory weight. 

‘We must ensure that entrepreneurs can raise capital on-chain without endless legal uncertainty. And we must allow for “super-app” trading platform innovation that increases choice for market participants,’ said Atkins at the Inaugural OECD Roundtable on Global Financial Markets.

Currently, permissionless raises still exist, but the scale of tapping some of the biggest investors remains unprecedented.
