[ SLANG ][ CRYPTO ][ TRADING ]
Open conflict or competition between major crypto holders, often visible on-chain as large coordinated buys or sells trying to move price against each other.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"There's a full whale wars situation happening on that chart, two wallets just keep counter-trading each other."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named for the public, trackable nature of large-wallet ('whale') behavior once blockchain transparency made these standoffs visible in real time.
