Massive Whale Moves: 3 Crypto Set to Surge in May 2025

Jakarta, Pintu News – In recent weeks, the crypto market has stabilized. During this recovery period, the “crypto whales” (large investors) have been seen strategically accumulating a few select altcoins.

Historically, massive whale buying of certain cryptocurrencies has often driven prices higher. However, this only happens as long as selling pressure does not dominate the market.

As the first month of the second quarter draws to a close and May approaches, the question is: Which altcoins are being hunted by the whales?

Ondo (ONDO)

Ondo , which currently ranks 31st by market capitalization, is becoming the top altcoin that crypto whales are collecting.

Based on data from IntoTheBlock, the large holder netflow for ONDO was recorded at -2 million on Wednesday, April 23. This measurement method shows the difference between the amount of tokens bought and sold by whales.

A positive netflow indicates that whales are buying more tokens, while a negative value indicates increasing selling pressure from these large holders. As of April 26, 2025, ONDO’s whale netflow jumped to 27.8 million.

At current prices, this suggests that whales have accumulated over $25 million worth of ONDO tokens in just the last three days.

Based on CCN’s findings, it seems that the whales bought ONDO due to optimism towards a positive outcome of Ondo Finance’s tokenization meeting with the United States SEC.

Reflecting such optimism, ONDO’s price has surged to $1, erasing the bearish bias that previously surrounded the token.

If the buying pressure from the whales continues, there is a possibility that the ONDO price will approach $2 in May.

However, if the SEC rejects Ondo Finance’s proposal to tokenize some of its US financial assets, the situation could reverse. In that scenario, ONDO’s market value could potentially experience a significant correction.

Polygon (POL)

The second altcoin to be targeted for accumulation by crypto whales is Polygon , previously known as MATIC. In the last seven days, the price of POL has risen by almost 30%.

Based on data from Santiment, the recent surge in POL price was triggered by increased accumulation from whales. On April 20, wallet addresses holding more than 1 billion tokens each were recorded as holding a total of 7.50 billion POL.

As of April 26, that number has risen to 7.55 billion POL, signaling that the whales have bought around 50 million tokens in just this week. At current prices, the purchase is worth more than $12 million.

While there are no major announcements from the Polygon team in the near future, this spike indicates that the whales believe that POL prices have bottomed out.

If this accumulation trend continues, the POL price could approach $0.50 by next month. However, if the buying pressure starts to weaken, the price could enter a consolidation phase or even experience a correction.

Chainlink (LINK)

Lastly, crypto whales were also seen actively accumulating Chainlink in anticipation of a potentially more bullish quarter.

Based on data from IntoTheBlock, this activity has seen an increase in the number of large transactions on the Chainlink network.

At the beginning of the week, there were only about 150 large transactions involving LINK. Now, that number has jumped to 211 transactions, indicating increased whale activity.

During the same period, LINK’s price also rose from $12.50 to $15, showing the positive impact of increased demand. If this buying trend continues, LINK’s market value has the potential to climb even higher.

However, traders still need to be cautious. If the accumulation of whales starts to slow down, it could trigger a price correction and threaten the recently achieved gains.
