Jakarta, Pintu News – Crypto whales, often considered the “smart money” in digital assets, have been seen adding to their holdings of certain altcoins during the recent market correction.
Their activity gives an idea of which direction large capital flows might move next. With October expected to be an important month for the crypto market, there are three altcoins that whales are quietly collecting, based on a Coinpedia report.

Ethereum (ETH) fell below $4,000, recording a 14% decline in the past month. Despite the weakness, whales have been aggressively accumulating. In the past few days, more than 406,000 ETH worth over $1.6 billion went into whale wallets.

Ethereum’s fundamentals remain solid. Transaction fees are getting lower, and developers are constantly improving the network. Some market participants even compare ETH’s long-term prospects to Bitcoin’s early growth.
Tom Lee’s company Bitmine has accumulated nearly $9 billion ETH. The whales see the current price weakness as a buying opportunity before a potential rally later in the year.

Aster, a newcomer to the DEX perpetual space, launched on September 17 and has already surged more than 240%. With the backing of Binance and CZ, Aster is seen as a serious contender for Hyperliquid’s dominance.
In just two days, whales bought more than $48 million worth of Aster tokens. Binance’s support provides both credibility and resources for long-term growth. If Aster manages to capture a fraction of the Hyperliquid market, its price has the potential to rise many times from current levels.

Plasma (XPL) is a recently launched stablecoin-focused layer 1 blockchain. Although it is still very new, whale accumulation activity is already strong. The project has the backing of Bitfinex and billionaire Peter Thiel’s Founders Club, which gives great weight to its reputation.
Since launch, the price of XPL has risen from $0.70 to $1.21. One whale bought over $2.7 million worth of tokens during the public sale, while another collected at just $0.05.
Even Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, jumped in and made a quick $16 million profit from trading XPL. Although still classified as speculative, the strong backing from big names and whale interest make this project worth watching.
