Imagine having a front-row seat to what the top crypto whales are buying right now. It’s like getting a sneak peek into the future of the crypto market’s biggest winners. That’s right, the market dumped, and crypto whales are on the move again. And you know what, these whales don’t buy altcoins at random. In contrast, they carefully choose altcoins with huge potential before prices spike.
Today, you’ll discover the top 3 altcoins that smart money is loading up on during this. These aren’t just any coins; they’re the ones that could change the game soon.
Ethereum ($ETH)
Ethereum (ETH) dropped below the $4k mark. The current $ETH price is $3,925. And the pain could possibly get worse. However, that didn’t stop whales from buying into this opportunity.
You don’t get rich from buying at the top. So, that’s not what these whales are doing. As I already mentioned earlier, whales buy carefully. They choose altcoins that have a big upside potential.
So, in the past 2 days, 15 whale wallets accumulated a total of 406,117 $ETH. That’s worth around $1.6 billion.
🐳 10 WHALES HAVE BOUGHT 210,000+ $ETH WORTH $863 MILLION VIA OTC.

These whales profit from your panic selling. So, make sure that you don’t get shaken out. Ethereum’s fundamentals are still as strong as before. The team is working hard to improve the chain. For instance, transaction fees have already come down by quite a bit. And there’s much more going on.
Tom Lee predicted in 2017 that Bitcoin would be the new gold. The $BTC price was around $2,700 at that time. Now, that same Tom Lee says that Ethereum will be the next Bitcoin. So, people tend to listen to him. But not only that, he accumulated almost $9 billion worth of $ETH. Well, his company Bitmine did. Does this make him the Michael Saylor of Ethereum?

Overall, this whale activity emphasizes institutional confidence. It also positions $ETH for potential gains in the near term.
Aster DEX ($ASTER)
Another hot contender in this whale’s altcoins list is Aster DEX ($ASTER). This is Binance’s answer to Hyperliquid‘s dominance in the perp DEX space. $ASTER only launched a bit over a week ago, on 17th September.
However, ever since, we’ve seen a meteoritic rise in price. Its current ATH is at $2.41. Nonetheless, its current price is hurting with the general market conditions. But that’s like most other altcoins. The current $ASTER price is $1.83.
For a more in-depth look at what the Aster DEX is about and its $ASTER token, check my two recent videos on Aster. One video is a deep dive, and the other one is about 4 perp DEXes, including Aster.
For whales, this is a perfect time to get their hands on more $ASTER. So, let’s look at what these whales have been picking up. Over the past two days, various whale wallets picked up more than $48 million worth of $ASTER. This indicates aggressive buying and growing institutional interest.
Looks like a mystery whale bought 24M $ASTER($46.56M) today.

Whales keep buying, so they know something. Binance and CZ want this to succeed as well. So, despite the current dip, $ASTER still has plenty of upwards potential. I can see it go to $9 or $10. That’s a good 5X from here.
THIS WHALE HAS BOUGHT 55M $ASTER ($115M) OVER THE PAST 2 DAYS

Plasma ($XPL)
Plasma ($XPL) is a stablecoin focused Layer 1 blockchain. Its mainnet launched only 2 days ago, and with the $XPL token. Backers are the Tether sister-company Bitfinex and billionaire Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund. It’s designed for stablecoin transfers and digital payments at a global scale. With the recent launch of the Genius Act, this is a perfect fit.
There was immediately heavy whale accumulation around the $XPL token. It launched around 70 cents, and the current $XPL price is $1.22. The ATH is $1.54. So, here goes.
One whale managed to get a $2.7 million public sale allocation. Furthermore, he also bought 50.4 million $XPL at 5 cents.
Whale 0x790c deposited 50M $USDT into #Plasma and secured a $2.7M public sale allocation.
He bought 54.09M $XPL($50.4M now) at $0.05 and is now sitting on an unrealized profit of over $47.7M!

Justin Sun also joined, or rather, crashed, the $XPL party. In only 1 minute, he managed to make a $16 million profit. By longing $XPL, he destroyed the order book and wiped out plenty of traders. However, for us small traders, be careful with using leverage. The current crypto pullback is nothing more than wiping out short positions. Tread carefully when using leverage. I said it before, but this is the fastest way to get rekt. Having said that, $XPL should definitely be on your radar!
Justin Sun just locked in $16M profit in under 60 seconds
He longed millions of $XPL, nuking the entire order book and wiping traders instantly. Sent $XPL soaring to $1.80 (+200% in 2 minutes)
And he’s STILL holding 15.2M $XPL ($10.2M) long.
Easily one of the craziest… pic.twitter.com/8QKiWFaKgT— Nonzee (@0xNonceSense) August 26, 2025
Honorable mentions
Besides the 3 mentioned altcoins, there’s more whale action going on. Let’s take a look at some notable whale activities over the last two days.
A whale bought over $17 million worth of $AVAX. Avalanche saw recently some good price development for its $AVAX token. Over the last 30 days, it’s 16.6% up. That’s despite the current 16% dip over the last two weeks.

Chainlink ($LINK) also keeps teasing whales. One whale just picked up 6.3 million $LINK. That’s worth around $135 million. $LINK around its current price of $20 is a steal in my book.
Whales just scooped up 6.3M $LINK (~$135M) during the dip, while exchanges saw massive withdrawals. whales are holding 52.68% of LINK supply. Supply is tightening. 💡 #Chainlink pic.twitter.com/Kkw49T5QtM

And let’s not forget Bitcoin. Whales keep an eye out for every dip that $BTC has. Two different whales scooped up a total of 8.965 $BTC today. That’s worth around $1 billion. Don’t sell your Bitcoin, but hodl it!
🚨BREAKING
A WHALE JUST BOUGHT 7,441 $BTC WORTH OVER $829 MILLION
