Whales Have Been Accumulating These 3 Altcoins Ahead of Bitcoin's Next Move

The crypto market took a hit last week, but the whales have since picked up on a buying opportunity. When Bitcoin dipped below $80,000, altcoins Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu also bled, leading to large investors (“crypto whales”) snapping up altcoins.

Crypto took a hit last week, but the whales have since picked up on a buying opportunity. When Bitcoin dipped below $80,000, altcoins such as Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu also bled, leading to large investors—or “crypto whales”—snapping up altcoins.

Three in particular caught their eye, according to AltcoinBuzz.

Solana: Beyond Robinhood?

Solana’s DeFi trading volume surpassed that of Robinhood, a sign that more traders are moving their activities on-chain.

Solana is currently hovering around a critical support level of $125-$135, and if the market turns bullish, SOL could make a run toward $138. Many whales are betting on Solana’s long-term potential, especially since it has strong fundamentals and solid use cases.

Many thanks to @ArkhamHQ for the heads up! Looks like Alameda Research has unlocked $23M in $SOL to 38 new addresses. These addresses combined hold nearly $178M in Solana tokens. FTX's reimbursement process has also begun, the firm has unlocked $SOL worth $1.5 Billion. pic.twitter.com/2ue5IEFFQb

Hyperliquid: Whales Hold Strong

Hyperliquid, a newer decentralized exchange (DEX), but with high volume and steady growth. Even though it has seen massive sell-off like other altcoins, whales have held strong making sure Hyperliquid bounces back for the long term.

The market is drowning in blood, but @HyperliquidX fundamentals remain unshaken. Volumes are steady, revenue stays high, and AF continues absorbing more tokens daily. The best strategy? No leverage. No unnecessary risks. Just accumulate, stake, and wait.Trying to catch… pic.twitter.com/pQiRisX175

With an increasing number of whales holding large amounts of Hyperliquid, a price surge could be in the cards once the market stabilizes. HYPE has gained 12% in the last 24 hours and is now eyeing to break the $15 mark.

Chainlink: The Whale Favorite

Chainlink saw a mild rebound after a price drop, bouncing from $13.18 to $15.25, and it’s attracting significant whale interest. Crypto analytics firm Santiment reports that Chainlink’s whales continue to accumulate more tokens. In fact, the top five Chainlink holders now own nearly 18% of the total supply.

With the growing interest in DeFi and smart contract platforms, Chainlink remains a top pick for institutional investors. Stellar integration is a key factor in Chainlink's ability to expand into new markets and provide seamless cross-chain interoperability.
