Whale

In Web3, a Whale is an individual or entity that holds a massive quantity of a specific cryptocurrency, giving them the power to influence market prices through large trades.Whale Watching—tracking the on-chain movement of these large wallets—is a popular strategy for identifying accumulation or distribution phases. In 2026, "Institutional Whales" (such as sovereign wealth funds and corporate treasuries) have replaced early adopters as the primary market movers. This tag explores wallet tracking, liquidity impact, and whale sentiment analysis.

XRP vs. LINK: The SEC-aligned play you shouldn’t ignore

XRP vs. LINK: The SEC-aligned play you shouldn’t ignore

The post XRP vs. LINK: The SEC-aligned play you shouldn’t ignore appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways XRP has lost the $3 support three times this month as whales rotated $56M into LINK. Is smart money positioning Chainlink as the SEC-aligned play? August looked like the perfect breakout setup for Ripple [XRP]. SEC settlement tailwinds, risk-on flows, Bitcoin’s [BTC] all-time high, and altseason rotation were all stacked in its favor. Yet, XRP has remained range-bound, up just 0.13% from its $3.02 open. In contrast, Chainlink [LINK] has outperformed with a near 50% move to $24. On the relative chart, LINK/XRP printed a decisive +42% monthly candle, signaling its largest structural breakout since 2020. Source: TradingView (LINK/XRP) That kind of move screams rotation.  Backing this, whales have piled roughly $56 million into LINK, highlighting a sharp divergence in capital flows away from Ripple and into Chainlink’s momentum, where relative ROI confirms the shift. In short, the LINK/XRP breakout isn’t purely technical. Smart money inflows, structural momentum, and on-chain FOMO are driving the move. The key question: Is Chainlink now the superior SEC-aligned play? XRP’s legal drag contrasts with LINK’s SEC edge Chainlink’s edge over Ripple isn’t just about on-chain flows. Instead, it’s about infrastructure. LINK’s oracle network, seen as far more “regulatory-friendly,” powers most of DeFi’s data layer. In fact, Chainlink now controls 68% of the oracle market, making it the sector’s standard. Put simply, LINK’s grip on “SEC compliant” infrastructure leaves XRP stuck playing catch-up. The scoreboard shows it: Chainlink has added nearly $10 billion in DeFi TVS, pushing the sector to a three-year high. Source: DeFilLama For context, unlike protocols tracking traditional TVL, Chainlink tracks Total Value Secured (TVS). It is the total capital in DeFi protocols relying on its oracles. Notably, by mid-August 2025, that number hit $60+ billion. The kicker? XRPL’s DeFi TVL clocked in at just $90+ million, a 700× gap…

PEPE and Solana ETF Approval news Spark Altcoin Surge — Analysts Reveal 2025’s Hottest Gem

PEPE and Solana ETF Approval news Spark Altcoin Surge — Analysts Reveal 2025’s Hottest Gem

The post PEPE and Solana ETF Approval news Spark Altcoin Surge — Analysts Reveal 2025’s Hottest Gem appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Solana’s Potential ETF approval and PEPE’s price surge dominate headlines, but analysts are pointing to another hidden altcoin as the hottest gem of 2025. Despite the SEC’s recent delay in moving final deadlines to October 2025, interest levels have not cooled for Solana’s spot ETF decision. In fact, it has sharpened focus on where investors would direct capital next. The recently awakened PEPE has had many of the analysts calling attention to a fast-growing altcoin, MAGACOIN FINANCE, which they believe could provide outsized upside if the rotation into altcoins picks up steam. Solana (SOL) — Decision window, not approval The market continues to see the delay as procedural, not terminal. According to Bloomberg ETF analysts, the odds of approval are very high, as also seen in prediction markets.  Assuming success, external estimates consider Solana ETPs could quickly gain billions in the first year, a scale that would matter for flows across the altcoin complex. The key takeaway is simple–no approval has happened yet, October remains the key date. PEPE — Liquidity magnet in a sentiment upswing Heavy trading volumes and a fast-changing sentiment have kept PEPE in the conversation. In recent sessions, the token traded towards the lower end of its monthly range. However, volumes above six hundred million dollars in twenty-four hours suggest that speculative energy is alive and well. During periods of rotation, meme coins tend to act as high-beta vehicles, which is why PEPE keeps grabbing attention whenever the appetite for risk improves. MAGACOIN FINANCE — The presale on Investors’ watchlists PEPE headlines and the Solana ETF decision window dominate the news cycle, but analysts say the real gem is MAGACOIN FINANCE. Forecasts of 16,000% ROI make it the hottest hidden altcoin opportunity of 2025. MAGACOIN FINANCE’s narrative is riding three currents at once, early-stage…
