Always pay attention to what whales are up to. Last week I noticed that Ethereum and Arbitrum whales traded more than $200k and $50k. But what are they buying?

Whale activities have been very effective in planning my buying strategy. In this article, I will show you the 3 most important altcoins these whales are interested in right now.

Chainlink has seen a lot of activity in recent days. According to Santiment, whales are showing massive interest in its native token, $LINK. Chainlinks Github developer activity has increased this summer. Also, whales and sharks with 100K-10M $LINK now hold the most coins since December 2022.

Last month, lots of wealthy investors swapped Ether for LINK following the release of the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). Whales also added upwards of $6 million to their LINK holdings. The heightened demand caused the Link price to surge by around 6%.

So, Chainlinks CCIP has brought a new spark to the protocol. CCIP is designed to help build cross-chain applications and services. CCIP is available to all developers on the following testnets:

Chainlinks innovative Oracle services make it a top player in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. Chainlinks growth from $2.25 to over $50 during the 202021 bull market mirrors the high demand for reliable off-chain data within blockchain applications.

Although LINK trades at $7.36, it remains one of the standout Oracle service providers. The recent launch of the CCIP is another milestone, as it aims to facilitate seamless communications between different blockchains. Interestingly, the global payment network Swift is using Chainlink to connect with different blockchain networks. This brings more potential for Chainlink. The only news we see on Chainlink consistently is good news. Its well undervalued here.

Maker Protocol has seen heavy adoption in recent weeks. Data shows that MKR, its native token, is seeing significant deposits, swaps. And accumulations carried out by the top guys in the market. Some of these players include prominent VC firms.

One notable swap involved MakerDAO founder RuneKek. Data from Spot on Chain showed that he acquired 1,613 MKR by swapping around 1.61 million DAI, averaging $998.2 per MKR.

Notably, Venture Capital firm a16z recently moved 1.5K MKR to Coinbase at an average price of $970.35. Over the last 4 days, the total is approximately $5.83 million. The VC company also moved around 6.9K MKR (valued at $8.08 million) to a new wallet address.

The data also showed that HoldingCms accumulated 1,325 MKR from Binance and Bitget between June and late July, averaging $799.5 per MKR. Makers token buyback program appears to be one of the primary reasons for the increased interest in MKR. The tokens total market cap is around $1 billion. However, the buyback would reduce 0.7% of the supply per month at current prices.

The buyback scheme led to increased confidence in MKR. It also attracted short-term traders and long-term investors to profit from the tokens bullish momentum. MKR is a governance token and is important to the Maker protocol. The token holders influence the protocol and vote on proposals for the use of DAI. MKR currently trades at $1,219.29.

Whales are pretty busy in the Arbitrum ecosystem. And one of the projects that has caught their attention is GMX. GMX has everything it needs to grow. So, increased whale activity doesnt come as a surprise. Lookonchain recently revealed that a whale spent 5,330 $DAI to buy $GMX.

GMX uses its decentralized perpetual exchange technology to govern a growing segment of the blockchain space. Theres massive potential in this protocol. GMX currently trades at $51.12. But experts believe the token could surpass its all-time high of $91.07 in the coming months.
