Crypto whales increased acquisition of certain altcoins in the week ending December 15, 2025, while Bitcoin stayed near $89K, pointing to a strategic rotation toward higher-beta plays. Large holders fiercely established positions in Ethena (ENA), Pippin (PIPPIN), XRP, Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), and Aster (ASTER). Remarkably, XRP whales with 10–100 million tokens added about 970 million tokens worth nearly $2.13 billion since late November, helping to maintain price stability with weekly inflows close to $2.20. Ada whales gathered more than 280 million tokens around $0.41, while ENA holdings increased by 2.84% (roughly 1.1 million tokens).
With Chainlink seeing a 28.93% increase in holdings, Aster adding 4.67 million tokens (roughly $4.34 million), and Pippin surging with 48-53.9 million tokens (~$9.75 million), accumulation extended to mid-cap and emerging tokens and powered a 120% price pump. Falling exchange balances across these assets suggest decreased selling pressure and increasing confidence in rebounds as whales wager on bullish technical setups in the aftermath of FOMC market declines.
Mirroring past turns into ETH, XRP, and memes, this activity shows a larger tendency of capital moving from Bitcoin dominance into altcoins with robust fundamentals and volatility potential, reflecting reduced reserves signaling long-term holds. These mid-caps may lead the following leg up if macro circumstances stay favorable.
