The on-chain analytics firm Santiment has revealed how Shiba Inu
(SHIB) and Cardano (ADA) are among the altcoins seeing high whale
activity recently. Shiba Inu & Cardano Have Seen High Interest
From Whales Recently In a new post on X, Santiment has talked about
how some altcoins have been seeing a high Whale Transaction Count
recently. The “Whale Transaction Count” here refers to an indicator
that keeps track of the number of transactions happening on any
cryptocurrency network that are valued at $100,000 or more.
Generally, only the whale entities are capable of moving such a
large amount of capital with single transfers, so transactions of
this scale are associated to movements related to them. Related

When the value of the indicator is high, it means the whales are
making a large number of moves on the network right now. Such a
trend could imply these humongous investors have an active interest
in trading the coin. On the other hand, the metric being low could
imply the big money investors may not be paying much attention to
the asset currently as they aren’t making too many transactions.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Whale Transaction
Count for three altcoins: Shiba Inu, Cardano, and JasmyCoin
(JASMY). As displayed in the above graph, all three of Shiba Inu,
Cardano, and JasmyCoin have seen the metric spike for them
recently. Naturally, this means that the whales are actively
trading these assets right now. As for what this could mean for the
prices of these cryptocurrencies, a high whale transaction count
can be a predictor for volatility. The indicator doesn’t contain
any information about whether the transfers are tending towards
buying or selling moves, though, so it can usually be hard to say
about where exactly such volatility could take the asset. Since the
transfers have started, however, all three of these coins have seen
some level of price appreciation, hinting that the whale activity
so far may have been leaning towards accumulation after all. The
analytics firm also appears to believe that buying could be the
goal behind these transactions. “The amount of $100K+ transactions
on each of these networks have all more than doubled this week
compared to usual 2024 averages, signaling accumulation,” notes
Santiment. Related Reading: Bitcoin Like A Spring Waiting To

value of the Whale Transaction Count persists for Shiba Inu and
company, it’s likely that their prices would continue to see some
sort of fluctuations in the coming days. SHIB Price While JasmyCoin
has seen a considerable amount of profits following the spike in
whale interest, Shiba Inu has only been able to see a relatively
minor surge. Following this latest rise, the SHIB price has so far
been able to recover to $0.00002570. Featured image from Dall-E,
