SIREN When the Yuanuniverse token and DeFi revenue agreement suddenly topped the list in whale activity
According to the latest monitoring from online data platform Santimony, Decentraland\'s MANA token increased by 833% on a week-on-week basis in the volume of single whale transactions exceeding 100,000 US dollars. It was closely followed by the Arbitrum ecosystem\'s Pendle, with an increase of 800%. In addition, a series of stablecoins and small-cap tokens were also on the list. The data reveals that large wallets are undergoing sudden position adjustments in asset classes that do not typically dominate whale activity rankings.
Among them, USAT\'s transaction volume surged 400%, Optimism\'s MakerDAO token DAI also rose 400%, Telcoin climbed 350%, and Virtuals Protocol\'s VIRTUAL recorded a 300% increase. Even stablecoins have seen a surge in the number of large transfers-MakerDAO\'s USDS, for example, saw a 154% increase in the number of large transactions. This screening tool, which tracks differences in indicators along the chain, highlights rapid changes in whale behavior and often signals changes in the underlying market structure before prices reflect.
The surge in whale transfers often suggests that big players are preparing for some action-whether it\'s deploying funds to the DeFi protocol, transferring assets across chains, or adjusting positions ahead of a major ecosystem update. The activity of stablecoin trading pairs also suggests that liquidity provision or fund departure operations may be involved. It is worth noting that tokens such as MANA are closely related to the metaverse NFT. Recently, the $X@AI BRC-20 NFT and Courtyard series topped the weekly NFT sales rankings, reflecting the overall recovery of the digital collectibles market. The increase in whale holdings in related tokens may be a continuation of this trend.
However, investors should be cautious about the direct correlation between whale activity on the chain and price changes. The surge in large-scale transactions may represent both fundraising and distribution. Sanitation\'s data only showed an increase in the number of transactions and did not say whether the wallet was buying or selling. Without additional on-chain indicators such as exchange net flow and realized profits and losses, the market picture will be incomplete. Whales may be transferring tokens to a centralized exchange for sale, or they may be transferred to cold wallets for long-term holding.
What this means for altcoin traders
On low-liquid altcoins such as Telcoin or Virtuals, a surge in whale trading volume can have a disproportionate impact on market liquidity and short-term volatility. Although there have been significant fluctuations in TON and SIREN at the forefront of the recent gainers list, none of the tokens on the Sanitation whale list are on the list. This difference is noteworthy-it suggests that whale action may not yet be fully reflected in market prices, or it means that big players are making arrangements for an unspecified market. For keen market participants, continuous monitoring of whether the number of these transactions maintains or further increases may provide an early signal of price changes.
For traders, these data are another noteworthy signal in addition to order book depth and funding rates. Tokens such as Pendle and Ether.fi, which are closely related to the liquidity pledge and income market, may regain market attention if whales continue to increase their holdings. But for now, the surge in transactions only tells us that big money is paying attention-just that the direction is not yet clear.
