Recent data from Lookonchain indicates that major cryptocurrency investors, often referred to as âwhales,â are significantly increasing their holdings of Ethereum (ETH) and various decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens. This trend could lead to noteworthy movements in the broader crypto market.
What Are Whales Doing with UNI Coin?
According to Lookonchain, one prominent whale wallet withdrew 299,133 UNI from the Gate crypto exchange, equating to around $2.39 million. This surge in UNI transactions comes as the tokenâs market capitalization stands at approximately $4.71 billion, reflecting impressive growth over the past week.
How is Longling Capital Investing in Ethereum?
In another significant move, a whale wallet linked to Longling Capital acquired 5,000 ETH, valued at $12.34 million, showcasing a robust interest in this leading cryptocurrency. This walletâs total Ethereum holdings now exceed 68,064 ETH, worth over $168 million.
Additionally, another whale acquired 31,173 AAVE ($4.8 million) and utilized these tokens as collateral to secure loans for further acquisitions on the Aave platform. This investor borrowed 2.7 million GHO and converted it to USDC, which was then used to purchase more AAVE on Coinbase.
