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. According to AltcoinBuzz, three in particular have caught their eye:
Solana: Beyond Robinhood?
Solana’s DeFi trading volume surpassed that of Robinhood, a sign that more traders are moving their activities on-chain.
🚨 TODAY: Alameda Research unlocked $23M in $SOL to 38 new addresses. These addresses combined hold nearly $178M in Solana tokens.

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.

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.
🔗🐳 Chainlink has achieved a mild rebound ahead of other altcoins following a market-wide plummet that saw the coin fall to $13.18 Tuesday. The top cap coin then bounced all the way to $15.25, and now is seeing abnormally high volume & volatility.

With the growing interest in DeFi and smart contract platforms, Chainlink remains a top pick for institutional investors. Steady accumulation by whales based on their market study makes it an apparent choice for further growth. Not just that, but Chainlink’s role in the expansion of decentralized finance is proven. In short: the smart money always bets on Chainlink.
