Top Altcoins That Whales Are Putting Their Bets On

While Bitcoin grabs headlines due to the robust BTC rally, the top altcoins are quietly stealing the show. According to blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain, whale wallets are actively accumulating three specific tokens, VIRTUAL, Worldcoin (WLD), and GAME. This movement indicates growing confidence in these assets, especially amid a broader market rebound.

In a recent post on X, Lookonchain disclosed that a single whale snapped up 2.53 million VIRTUAL tokens worth around $2.66 million at a price of $0.93 each. The altcoin, associated with metaverse-related infrastructure, has seen rising interest thanks to renewed speculation around virtual economies.

The same whale also scooped up 1.48 million WLD tokens, spending $1.73 million at an average of $1.02 per token. Worldcoin has remained a hot topic due to its ambitious identity-verification goals tied to AI-driven platforms. Whale accumulation here suggests growing belief in the project’s long-term utility.

Meanwhile, a much larger but lower-value transaction involved 6.47 million GAME tokens, acquired for just $299,000 at a mere $0.04 apiece. This indicates a possible bet on the gaming sector’s comeback, particularly with Web3 games gaining traction again.

Lookonchain also noted a smaller buy: 303,574 COOKIE tokens worth $40,700, priced at $0.13 each. While not as prominent as compared to the other altcoins, this modest purchase adds weight to the idea that whales are diversifying within small-cap tokens.
