Market observations indicate that the liquidity pattern of KNC is undergoing subtle changes. Continuous net outflows from exchanges suggest that the circulating supply is tightening, which often signals a shift in market sentiment.

More notably, the issue of holding concentration. Large institutions and whale wallets currently control 28.3M KNC, which accounts for approximately 27% of the exchange circulating supply and about 40% of the network circulating supply. What does such a high level of off-chain concentration imply? Liquidity risk and potential price volatility are both present here. When such levels of holdings experience anomalies, market reactions are often significant.

KNC-1.43%

Are whales holding 40% of the circulating supply? This is the real ticking time bomb. Wait, net outflows tightening supply... I feel like I've seen this script before. 28.3M held by a few big whales, do you really dare to touch it? Regarding liquidity risk, there have actually been signs in the exchanges for a while, but no one paid attention. This round of KNC is a bit risky... too much concentration is not a good thing. Whales moving can cause explosions, that's true. With such concentrated holdings, will the price fluctuate up or down? It feels like a powder keg, just waiting for someone to light it.

Net outflow + whale accumulation, I've seen this routine before, always be cautious --- 28.3M held off-chain, which has a bit of a breaking-the-deadlock vibe, just see who acts first --- Wait, 40% of circulating supply is locked? Isn't this the best signal for building a position? --- High concentration = high risk, I want to try the opposite approach --- Net outflow from exchanges sounds good, but whales might dump the market at any moment, do you want to bet or not? --- On-chain data looks great, but the question is, when will retail investors get to enjoy the gains? --- 27% of exchange circulating volume is controlled by institutions, in other words, they make money based on their mood --- Is this hinting that I should buy the dip or run away? Please help --- Liquidity is tight + whale position changes, the next move might really be coming --- I just want to know when these institutions will sell so I can set my stop-loss orders

40% of the circulating supply is held by whales, how reckless do you have to be to hold such a heavy position --- With such high concentration, it’s basically waiting for a big surge or a crash, feels like a casino --- Net outflows tighten supply... sounds good, but I’m more concerned about when the whales will move --- These institutions are really playing tricks, controlling the market with just 28.3M, retail investors are still dreaming here --- Liquidity risk? To put it plainly, it could crash at any moment, don’t be naive --- Oh, 27% of the exchange supply is controlled by whales, it’s hard for the price to stay stable --- I just want to know when these institutions will start selling, that’s the real highlight

Whales are stockpiling again. A 40% concentration is just too outrageous. Where's the decentralization we promised?

The whales are about to make a big move again, holding 40% of the circulating supply. How much do they want to dump before they do it?

Whales are stockpiling again, and us retail investors really can't keep up.

Whales are stocking up again, it doesn't seem like a good sign. Liquidity tightening is exactly like this, with 40% off-chain... it’s really a bit harsh. Wait, is this data real? Feels like a dump could happen at any time. Is KNC about to take off or crash? It's really hard to tell. With such a large amount held by big players, retail investors need to be extra cautious.
