Crypto whales have been strategically accumulating altcoins in April 2025, signaling bullish sentiment and potential price rallies. Notable activity includes a 492% spike in NetFlow for Uniswap (UNI), a large buying of Worldcoin (WLD) linked to AI-driven identity verification, and MANTRA (OM) accumulation. Whales traded over $4.7 million in particular tokens on April 26 alone, including VIRTUAL, GAME, and COOKIE, demonstrating targeted purchases of individual projects.
In addition to the above altcoins, whales also focused on Ondo (ONDO), Dogecoin (DOGE), and other Layer-2 coins, with ONDO registering over $40 million in whale buy orders as May approached. GateToken (GT), USDC (Polygon), LEO, Chainlink (LINK), and Toncoin (TON) logged significant whale growth in transactions for April.
The overall pattern is whales positioning themselves strategically within altcoins, particularly AI and Layer-2 blockchain-related altcoins, that is indicative of a potential deflection of interest from Bitcoin and a growing desire for riskier assets with more potential for growth. Traders and investors should watch closely these altcoins for potential price activity and increasing liquidity driven by whale movements.
