While Bitcoin continues to capture attention with its strong 2025 outlook, several altcoins may be facing near-term turbulence.
According to fresh data from blockchain analytics firm Santiment, large holders—commonly known as whales—have moved sizable amounts of four specific tokens to exchanges within the past day, a move often seen as a prelude to selling.
The tokens showing the highest inflows include PayPal USD (PYUSD), ImmutableX (IMX), SSV, and Threshold (T). PYUSD topped the list with $15.9 million worth sent to exchanges, accounting for 1.67% of its market cap.
IMX saw $6.4 million moved, while SSV and Threshold recorded $1.1 million and $1.2 million respectively—each representing close to 1% of their circulating supply.

Investors eyeing these altcoins may want to watch closely, as increased exchange activity can disrupt price stability and shift short-term sentiment—particularly when driven by high-stakes wallets.
