- Significant increase in whale activity in top cryptocurrencies.
- CRO, BGB, and WETH see major activity spikes.
- Market positioning and platform usage drive trends.
Santiment reported a sharp increase in whale activity for tokens like Cronos, Bitget Token, and Wrapped Ethereum over the past week, observed across major blockchains.
This whale activity suggests potential shifts in market dynamics, with increased attention on specific platforms and tokens, possibly forecasting future price trends and market behavior.
Santiment data reveals a substantial rise in whale activity for Cronos, Bitget Token, and Wrapped Ethereum as of January 22, 2026.
This whale activity suggests platform repositioning and possible future trading volume increases, likely impacting market dynamics.
Cronos, BGB, WETH Whale Activity Soars Over 700%
Whale activity in Cronos, Bitget Token, and Wrapped Ethereum increased notably, with a reported growth of 1,111%, 800%, and 711% respectively. These cryptocurrencies have market caps over $500 million.
Santiment attributes the spiking activity to ecosystem repositioning on platforms like Crypto.com and Bitget. No official comments were provided by founders or developers regarding these shifts.
Mixed Market Reactions to Increased Whale Activity
The increase in whale activity has resulted in varied market responses. Cronos whales showed activity despite a drop in price/volume; Bitget Token saw price gains and volume rise.
Analysts suggest these trends may indicate increased platform usage. Historical patterns show whales often accumulate before price rallies, which might influence forthcoming market strategies.
Experts Warn of Potential Market Shift
Past whale activity on tokens like Cronos and Bitget preceded trading volume jumps, often leading to higher exchange usage. Bitcoin whales historically hoard before market rallies.
Experts predict these whale behaviors could foretell an upcoming market shift. If historical data trends persist, this might prompt significant trading volume and price movements in the coming weeks.
"This is a strong sign that whales are repositioning inside ecosystems. Both CRO and BGB whale spikes often precede trading volume jumps, and means both platforms are very likely getting much higher usage than usual," Santiment, On-Chain Analytics Platform.
