#AltcoinSeasonLoading The cryptocurrency whales bought these altcoins in the second week of May 2025

The crypto market has experienced a significant increase in trading activity this week, following the U.S. Fed's decision to keep interest rates steady. Amid the broader rally, on-chain data has revealed accumulation by whales in several key altcoins.

Here are the top altcoins that cryptocurrency whales have been buying in the second week of May.

The leading altcoin ETH has emerged as one of the assets that cryptocurrency whales have been paying attention to this week. The altcoin has recovered $2,000 following the dovish stance of the Federal Reserve and the successful implementation of its Pectra upgrade.

These catalysts have helped restore the bullish momentum, and ETH whales are taking advantage. According to IntoTheBlock, the net flow of large holders of the coin has increased by 374% in the past seven days.

APE is another altcoin that whales have added to their portfolios this week. At the time of publication, the altcoin is trading at $0.61, up 13% in the last seven days.

Whale addresses holding between 10,000 and 100,000 tokens have acquired 640,000 APE during that period.

Previously known as MATIC, POL is another token on the whales' radar this week. According to Santiment, wallet addresses holding between 1 million and 10 million tokens have purchased 3.24 million POL in the last seven days.
