Chainlink (LINK) Whales Accumulate 20.46 million LINK Since November

  • Chainlink’s (LINK) top 100 wallets added 20.46 million LINK ($263M) since November.
  • Santiment data shows whales have shifted from distribution back to accumulation.
  • Reduced liquid supply could support price stability if demand strengthens.

Chainlink (LINK) has again made headlines in the crypto market, with new on-chain analysis indicating that large holders are accumulating large numbers of tokens. According to analytics platform Santiment, the top 100 holders of LINK tokens have accumulated a total of 20.46 million LINK, valued at around $263 million, since the start of November.

Santiment Data Highlights Whale Accumulation

From data provided by Santiment, the wallets holding the most LINK have started to again increase their holdings from the early part of November. After a distribution phase during the early part of the year, the big wallets seem to have changed strategies and are reaccumulating the coins during the correction.

In the past, such activity for large wallets has been closely monitored as it has often been followed by a period where there is less selling pressure as a result of accumulation by whales. Although this does not confirm that a price rally is imminent, it could be a sign that long-term investors find current price levels attractive.

Whale accumulation patterns are not necessarily indicative of a short-term trade system because whale transactions often involve a more long-term focus. With the move of LINK from exchanges to wallets, whales could actually be looking to capitalize on future growth or a possible recovery in the overall marketplace. This process will, however, lead to a contraction in the supply of assets that are liquid.

However, as reflected in the data from Santiment, accumulation on its own does not prove to be a strong positioning indicator that leads to a specific or expected outcome in LINK’s price trends.

In addition to price action, Chainlink (LINK) continues to find relevance as an underlying infrastructural technology for DeFi, use cases involving real-world assets, and cross-chain interoperability. Developments related to LINK’s Oracle Solutions and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol continue to be elements of considerable interest for long-term investors.

It may represent a vote of confidence in these fundamentals by the top wallets and not merely a speculative decision based on short-term trends.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)?

The post Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Dogecoin has been the face of meme coins for a long time. From Elon Musk tweets to a robust community, DOGE has managed to stay alive. But in 2025, things appear slightly different. Will Shiba Inu keep pursuing Dogecoin, or will new contender Little Pepe pass them both by? Dogecoin (DOGE): Still the Benchmark Dogecoin is trading just above $0.2452, up 10.63% over the past week. That steady climb shows why DOGE still matters: it has the liquidity, the listings, and the recognition that few meme tokens can match. Analysts see its price grinding higher into year-end, supported by altcoin momentum and ETF launches in the U.S. But here’s the thing: DOGE is no longer a scrappy underdog. With a market cap already in the tens of billions, turning $100 into $10,000 here is nearly impossible. It’s the Bitcoin of meme coins: reliable, liquid, and still iconic, but its days of 1,000× gains are behind it. Shiba Inu (SHIB): Big Name, Slowing Engine Shiba Inu sits at $0.00001349 with a market cap of $7.6 billion. It’s clawed back momentum with a 3.98% monthly surge, and analysts project a further 9.26% weekly gain to $0.00001418. Token burns and the expansion of Shibarium, its Layer-2 solution, keep the ecosystem alive. That said, SHIB’s size is also its weakness. Even with whales accumulating another 62 billion tokens, growth projections hover in the 400%–500% range, which is impressive but pales in comparison to what early buyers saw in 2021. SHIB is in the odd position of being too big to vanish, but too large to repeat its breakout magic. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The New Challenger SHIB grew on pure hype, but LILPEPE comes with real infrastructure. The project is building an Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 network designed for meme tokens, with near-zero fees, sniper-bot resistance, and…
