On the Ethereum side, whales took different strategies. According to Onchain Lens data, two new wallets purchased a total of 25,684 ETH via FalconX, indicating a major investor strengthening their market position. Another whale accumulated 3,333 ETH, worth approximately $14.93 million. This wallet had previously bought 9,046 ETH via Kraken over the weekend. 

Meanwhile, one whale deposited 3,492 ETH to Binance, gaining a profit of $17.37 million. Onchain Lens noted, “Two years ago, it withdrew 5,800 ETH and still holds 2,650 ETH.” Another Ethereum whale transferred 2,437 ETH to Binance for partial USDT withdrawal, earning around $5.05 million, showing that not all tokens were sold despite the price drop.

Whale Interest in Chainlink and Other Tokens 

Chainlink (LINK) also caught whales’ attention. LINK gained 5.9% in the last 24 hours. Four whales withdrew a total of over 400,000 LINK from Binance, worth approximately $9.82 million. Additionally, one whale withdrew another 211,346 LINK, bringing its total LINK holdings to 932,640. 

Meanwhile, the Pump.fun token address sent 2.5 billion PUMP tokens to OKX. Arkham data revealed an address possibly belonging to Rudy Kadoch transferring 1.976 million CRV tokens to Binance. A newly created wallet also executed a transaction of 450 BTC, worth $53.22 million. The Sky Protocol founder used 1.77 million ENA to reclaim 16.38 million SKY tokens. 

Finally, one whale withdrew 1.72 million USDC to buy 1.79 million Fartccoin (FARTCOIN). These transactions indicate that whales are both taking profits and strategically accumulating assets. ETH and LINK remain in focus, while other tokens also saw diversified activity.

According to on-chain research platform Lookonchain, these whales borrowed money from a platform called Venus to buy BNB:

• Address 0x1e7f: 65,000 BNB for $37.3 million
• Address 0x5c18: 52,000 BNB for $29.9 million
• Address 0xcd40: 39.5,000 BNB for $22.7 million
• Address 0x2d87: 39,000 BNB for $22.4 million

These purchases are linked to Binance’s strategy to benefit from projects on the Launchpool platform where users are rewarded with airdrops by locking BNB. Those who lock BNB have a higher chance of receiving airdrops than those who farm FDUSD. This is one of the main factors that keeps the price of BNB high.
