Whale Activity During Inflation Periods for Altcoins
Some whales have taken advantage of geopolitical volatility (airstrikes between Israel and Iran) to accumulate over $120 million in ADA along with ETH, and BlackRock invested $163.6 million in ETH alongside higher futures trading activity than BTC.
Significant movements were also observed in DOGE and SOL, with whales accumulating 1.5 billion DOGE by April 2025, resulting in approximately 25.97 billion DOGE being counted as institutional holdings. DOGE saw a 28% increase in early June.
🧭 What does this mean for investors?
Bitcoin (BTC): Large purchases by whales indicate confidence, suggesting that the price could find support around the $100,000 to $106,000 level, but 2040x leveraged trading still maintains high volatility.
Ethereum (ETH): Whale accumulation and derivative trading activity increase the potential for ETH price appreciation, but high-yield short-term positions may carry the risk of significant liquidation.
Altcoins: Strong movements in ADA and DOGE suggest a hot altcoin season, but there are also risks associated with whale reactions and the impacts of geopolitical events.
