Crypto whales are still making bold moves, focusing on both established blue-chip assets and promising altcoins. Fresh on-chain data from Lookonchain shows that these investors have accumulated large amounts of Chainlink (LINK), Ethereum (ETH), and AVA. Meanwhile, Moonshot MEGAX, an early-stage presale project, is attracting growing interest from retail investors.
3 Tokens Crypto Whales Are Buying Now
Large whales have added Chainlink, Ethereum, and Avalanche to their portfolio even as altseason looms.
1. Chainlink (LINK): Major Whale Accumulation
In just the past two days, whale wallet 0x3c9E withdrew 510,000 LINK (worth $11.13 million) from Binance and deposited it into Compound. Two other large investors of wallets 0x42A1 and 0x848a also bought $1.34 million and $1 million worth of Chainlink tokens within hours of each other.
This strong buying activity could demonstrate strong investors’ confidence in the decentralized data oracle crypto, powering smart contracts across the blockchain space.
2. Moonshot MEGAX: An Emerging Crypto Presale to Watch
Since launching on August 1, 2025, Moonshot MEGAX ($MAGAX) presale project has already sold 65,811,803 tokens. Presented as the first AI-powered Meme-to-Earn token, MEGAX is looking to change how meme coins work. Rather than chasing the usual short-lived hype, it uses AI to spot trending memes and rewards creators and promoters through the blockchain. This approach gives the token both a cultural and financial angle, aiming to make it a platform for creative expression as well as a potential income source for its community.
The presale price is set at $0.00027 USDT, with a vesting plan to encourage long-term commitment. 20% of tokens become available at launch, while the rest are released over 12 months. Holders also gain access to DAO governance, meme licensing opportunities, and advertising monetization. This could attract traders, content creators, and marketers.
MAGAX team is connecting with developers, viral content creators, and the Web3 community to grow its ecosystem. As it gains momentum, MEGAX has the potential to stand out by transforming online culture into a sustainable and profitable asset class.
3. Ethereum (ETH): Multi-Billion Dollar Crypto Whale Interest
Ethereum remains a top pick for whales. Over the past eight days, a mysterious entity created 10 new wallets and accumulated 312,052 ETH (worth $1.34 billion) from FalconX, Galaxy Digital, and BitGo. Adding to the momentum, whale 0xF436 pulled 17,655 ETH ($72.7 million) off exchanges in under 24 hours. 0x3684 spent $34 million USDT to grab 8,100 ETH at $4,193 each. Another whale 0x3952 withdrew another 21,000 $ETH(worth $90.6M) from binance and currently holds 86,001 $ETH (worth $260M). These moves highlight how ETH continues to be a cornerstone in whale strategies.
4. AVA: Joins the Crypto Whale Watchlist
Whale “8dduty”, who recently scored $489.7K (+906.7%) profit from SPARK, bought 2.79 million AVA (worth $118K) in just 16 hours. While the purchase size is much smaller compared to LINK and ETH, it’s a signal that experienced profit-hunters are starting to watch AVA closely.
The Final Thoughts
Whales don’t all follow the same playbook. Some focus on well-established assets with strong track records, such as ETH and LINK. Others look for crypto coins like AVA that still have room to grow. On the other hand, others bide their time for the right moment to enter promising presales like Moonshot MEGAX. Tracking these moves can reveal how large investors are preparing for the next phase of the crypto market.
