3 Cryptos Whales Are Buying Right Now — Could These Be the Next 2x Moonshots?

Jakarta, Pintu News – This week saw a significant spike in crypto trading activity. The peak came on Thursday, when Bitcoin (BTC) – the leading cryptocurrency – hit an all-time record high of $111,988.

This rise in positive sentiment in the market caught the attention of “whales” (large asset owners) who began to actively accumulate a few select altcoins.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

The prominent meme coin, Dogecoin (DOGE), has been one of the assets that received a lot of attention from crypto whales this week. Data from Santiment shows an increase in the amount of DOGE owned by wallet addresses that hold between 100 million and 1 billion DOGE tokens.

During the week under review, this group of DOGE owners purchased a total of 740 million tokens, which is worth more than $180 million based on current market prices.

This surge comes as overall market demand has increased, pushing the value of DOGE up in recent days. The meme coin is now trading at a 10-day high of $0.24. This increase reflects renewed investor interest amidst increasingly bullish crypto market sentiment.

Maker (MKR)

MKR, the governance token of popular decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol MakerDAO (MKR), became another asset that recorded a spike in whale activity this week.

This can be seen from IntoTheBlock’s data which shows that MKR’s large holder netflow increased by 469% in the last seven days.

Whale netflow measures the difference between the amount of tokens bought and sold by whales in a given period.

Spikes like this indicate massive accumulation by whales, signaling increased confidence and a bullish outlook for the asset.

In addition, this triple-digit jump in netflows could encourage retail traders to add to their MKR holdings. If this trend continues, the altcoin could potentially start a new rally phase.

Official Trump (TRUMP)

Official Trump (TRUMP) was also one of the altcoins that saw increased whale activity this week.

Ahead of yesterday’s dinner – where President Trump hosted the top 220 holders of his meme coin – whales were seen buying up large amounts of tokens.

According to data from Nansen, the flow of funds from Smart Money to this altcoin has surpassed $1.40 million in the last seven days, signaling growing interest from high-credibility investors.

Smart Money usually refers tohedge funds and institutions known for their timely investment decisions.

The surge in inflows into TRUMP shows confidence in the coin’s short-term potential, and if this momentum continues, could signal a continued upward trend.
