How to Make Money From the Latest Whale Moves in Crypto 🐋💸

[nihalsari]

Big money never sleeps — and right now, crypto whales are loading up on Ether (ETH). If you’re looking for signals on where the smart capital is flowing, here’s what you need to know:

1. Follow the Whales

Nine massive addresses just bought $456M worth of ETH from BitGo and Galaxy Digital (Arkham data).

Why it matters: whales often move before the crowd. Their rotation suggests Ethereum (and altcoins in general) could be the next money-maker after Bitcoin’s recent rally.

Money move: Track whale wallets. When they rotate from BTC profits into ETH or other alts, it’s usually a sign of the next wave.

2. Watch the Rotation Trend

Analysts call this a “natural rotation”:

Investors cash in Bitcoin profits

Then rotate into altcoins with more upside

Ethereum is leading this cycle thanks to:

Strong institutional mindshare (ETH treasuries, corporate accumulation).

Growing capital inflows: ~$0.9B/day into ETH, almost matching BTC’s inflows (Willy Woo).

Money move: Don’t chase BTC tops — look for the rotation flow into ETH and top alts.

3. Ride the Altcoin Season

It’s not just ETH. “Smart money” traders (Nansen-tracked high performers) are scooping up:

Chainlink (LINK): $1.2M — possibly tied to Bitwise’s new LINK ETF filing.

Ethena (ENA): $967K.

Lido DAO (LDO): $614K.

Meanwhile, a dormant whale reappeared to grab $28M in ETH, showing big conviction.

Money move: Position early in solid large-cap alts being accumulated by “smart money” — LINK, ENA, and LDO are on the radar.

4. The Big Picture ️

BTC is still the king, but profit-taking is feeding into ETH and altcoins.

Institutional plays (treasuries, ETFs, big whales) are setting the stage for a potential 2025 altcoin season.

The opportunity: riding the wave before retail FOMO kicks in.

Takeaway: If you want to make money in this market, follow the rotation. Bitcoin’s already had its run — whales are betting on Ethereum and select altcoins to lead the next leg.

Are you rotating into ETH and alts yet, or staying parked in BTC until clearer signals show up?

This rotation narrative is — we’ve seen it before in every major cycle. BTC pumps first, then whales quietly load ETH and top alts before retail catches on. The fact that BitGo & Galaxy wallets just moved nearly half a billion into ETH is no coincidence. If inflows keep matching BTC’s pace, $ETH leading altseason looks inevitable. I’m already scaling into ETH + LINK while it’s still early.

Whale rotations are definitely worth tracking, but retail should be careful not to FOMO blindly. Yes, ETH inflows are huge and corporate treasuries stacking ETH is super bullish — but markets love to shake out weak hands before the real move. My approach: accumulate ETH on dips, keep BTC as the anchor, and use whale wallet flows as confirmation instead of chasing green candles. Altseason comes fast, but patience pays more.
