Whale Alert: Santiment Reveals Top Altcoins With Surging $100K+ Transfers
In its latest on-chain report, cryptocurrency analytics firm Santiment has unveiled a list of altcoins seeing a sharp rise in large-scale transactions from whale wallets—those responsible for moving over $100,000 per transfer.
The findings cover activity over the past 30 days and suggest that major holders are positioning themselves strategically amid heightened market volatility and escalating global trade tensions.
Top Altcoins With Rising Whale Transactions
According to information from Santiment, these are the altcoins with the highest percentage increase in whale transactions valued over $100,000:
- GateToken – ▲ 200%
- USD Coin (Polygon network) – ▲ 124.41%
- UNUS SED LEO – ▲ 100%
- Chainlink (Optimism network) – ▲ 100%
- TONToken – ▲ 100%
- Curve (Ethereum network) – ▲ 79.25%
- PAX Gold – ▲ 65.71%
- Dai (Avalanche network) – ▲ 60%
- Jasmy (JASMY) – ▲ 51%
- USD Coin (Arbitrum network) – ▲ 46.82%
Whale Behavior Points to Accumulation
Santiment analysts interpret this spike in activity as a sign of accumulation, especially in networks that have seen significant pullbacks recently. Stablecoins and gold-backed tokens making the list also reflect a growing preference for value preservation and hedging strategies.
“Networks that see increased whale activity, particularly after crypto markets have pulled back significantly, likely indicate that key holders are accumulating and that prices are likely to rise as the industry stabilizes,” Santiment noted.
