The digital asset market has calmed performance this week, with many tokens waiving most of their July profits. Market capitalization in the global crypto era has slipped 4% over the past seven days, reflecting the intense momentum and cautious sentiment among traders.
However, despite the wider recession, on-chain data reveals that crypto whales are actively accumulating altcoins of their choice. In this analysis we will look at some of them.
Arbitrum (ARB)
Layer-2 (L2) Altcoin Arb has seen an increase in Crypto Whale accumulation this week. According to Santiment, the whale, which holds 1 million to 10 million tokens, has acquired 10 million ARB in the past week, boosting its collective holdings to 2.45 billion tokens at the press conference.

This trend can increase trust among small investors and lead to increased retail participation. Retail demand is built along with whale activity, which could create the momentum needed to break ARBs from side-to-side trends.
If demand increases, the ARB will outweigh the resistance formed at $0.52 and push towards $0.57.
Meanwhile, if sales continue, it could drop to $0.45.
ChainLink
Link, the native token of Oracle Network Provider ChainLink, is one of the Altcoins Crypto whales accumulated this week. Nansen’s on-chain data shows a 25% increase in holdings among high-value wallets that hold more than $1 million in links.
This surge in whale activity suggests increased confidence in the short-term outlook for tokens. If accumulation continues, the link could rise to $26.89.
Meanwhile, when demand weakens and whales begin to reduce exposure, the token slips to around $23.48.
Cardano (ADA)
Layer-1 (L1) Coin ADA is also focusing on strategic accumulation among crypto whales this week despite wider market declines. For each data on the chain, the whale, who holds 1 million to 10 million coins, purchased 60 million ADA coins during their review.
The lukewarm performance of the wider market has kept the ADA in range for the past few days, but as whale accumulation increases, its price can test resistance at $0.89 and try to rest on it.
Conversely, if accumulation drops, the price of the L1 could drop to $0.84.
It was first made in Beincrypto that the postcrypt whales purchased these altcoins in the third week of August 2025.
