For Maker (MKR), large wallet addresses holding between 100,000 and 1,000,000 MKR purchased an additional 65,000 tokens, equivalent to over 92 million USD, in the past week. This accumulation has pushed the price of MKR up by 41%, currently trading at 1,436 USD. If this trend continues, the price of MKR could reach 1,780 USD in the near future.

Regarding Lido (LDO), the net inflow from major investors has increased by 184% in the past week, reflecting optimism about the governance token of this staking protocol. Interest from whales may drive the price of LDO higher in the coming days.
