Bitcoin’s rise past $102,000 has sparked renewed momentum across the cryptocurrency market, with altcoins benefiting from heightened investor interest.
Analytics platform Santiment has identified a significant uptick in whale activity targeting specific tokens. Among the top performers, MakerDAO’s DAI (BSC) leads with an 800% increase in transactions, followed by Dexe Network (DEXE) at 250% and Aave (AAVE) on Polygon, which surged by 200%.
Other tokens, such as Telcoin (TEL) and XRP, also saw notable increases, with activity rising by 100% and 81%, respectively.

This surge in transactions could pave the way for further price appreciation in targeted altcoins, highlighting the ongoing evolution of the crypto market as investors prepare for the next growth phase.
The recent activity underscores the critical role of whale behavior in shaping market trends and influencing broader crypto adoption.
