The crypto market is bleeding, but for smart money, this is the perfect time to buy. As the market bleeds, whales are taking full advantage of the downturn, accumulating assets with long-term potential. This strategy aligns with a broader perspective—despite the short-term volatility, the market is expected to trend upward, especially with the growing institutional and state-level adoption of Bitcoin. Cryptocurrency analyst Altcoin Buzz took to his recent video and discussed what is the strategy “Whales” adopting in this downtrend. Let’s get into the key insights!

Bitcoin: A Long-Term Bet

Analysts stick to the old saying buy when blood is on the street. He is bullish as big investors are buying more Bitcoin because big companies and even countries like Brazil and Abu Dhabi are putting money into it. This proves Bitcoin is seen as a valuable asset especially after the US approved Bitcoin reserve plan. BlackRock’s CEO, Larry Fink, also said it’s a good time to buy when prices are low. Plus, Bitcoin ETFs from companies like BlackRock and Grayscale are making it easier for institutions to invest, increasing demand even more.

Altcoins on the Whale Radar

Apart from the Bitcoin analysts pointed out, whales have been aggressively buying certain altcoins, seeing them as undervalued opportunities. 

One standout is Sui (SUI), which has shown resilience despite market fluctuations. With over $1 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) and integrations with major DeFi projects, Sui has solidified its position in the space. Its growing memecoin market and integrations with Phantom and Backpack indicate increasing adoption, making it a whale favorite.

The analyst mentioned another major target is XRP, which has held strong compared to other altcoins. Large-scale whale purchases of over 150 million XRP in the last 48 hours suggest confidence in its long-term potential. With its legal battle with the SEC nearing an end and favorable U.S. stablecoin policies, XRP could be gearing up for a significant rally. Some analysts even predict a potential price surge to $15, driven by strong technical indicators and institutional backing.

Ondo Finance (ONDO) is also on the list, riding the rising wave of real-world assets (RWA) in crypto. Having broken past $1 billion in TVL, Ondo remains a dominant force in the sector. Its association with high-profile figures, including an endorsement from Donald Trump Jr., has added to its credibility. Whale activity suggests growing confidence, with one investor reportedly selling off their Pepe and Beam holdings at a loss to go all-in on ONDO. On the other side, Ondo Finance is promoting tokenization’s importance with billboards in DC as key crypto policy talks approach. 

Final Thoughts

While the market sentiment remains bleak, whales are making moves that signal confidence in crypto’s long-term future. Whether it’s Bitcoin, Sui, XRP, or Ondo Finance, their accumulation suggests these assets could be poised for a major comeback.
