Whale bought these Altcoins in the second week of July 2025.

This week, the crypto market has witnessed a strong bounce back, driven by increasing optimistic sentiment.

Bitcoin leads

Bitcoin has created a frenzy by reaching an all-time high just yesterday, igniting optimism across the entire crypto market. As usual, Bitcoin's surge since the beginning of the week has led to a price increase of many other assets, causing major investors to take strategic moves towards certain altcoins.

Toncoin (TON)

Toncoin, the coin linked to Telegram, is one of the assets that cryptocurrency "whales" have actively purchased this week. This is clearly reflected in the net cash flow from large investors, which has increased by nearly 320% over the past seven days.

When the net inflow of an asset shows a positive increase, wallets holding more than 1% of the circulating supply of that asset are accumulating more coins. This indicates growing confidence among key investors and suggests a sustainable price increase if they maintain demand.

Currently, TON is trading at $2.93, recording a 5% increase over the past week. If the accumulation trend of whales continues, this altcoin has the potential to surpass the $3 threshold and try to stabilize at this price level. Conversely, if demand decreases, TON may lose its recent gains and drop down to $2.71.

Shiba Inu (SHIB)

The bounce back in the crypto market in general has spread to the meme coin ecosystem, with the market capitalization of this sector increasing by 25% in the past week. This price surge has attracted the attention of major investors, prompting them to gradually increase their level of investment in the top meme coin, SHIB.

On-chain data shows that large wallets holding between 10,000 and 1 million tokens collectively purchased 340 million SHIB over the past week. This group currently holds 145.06 billion SHIB, marking the highest recorded balance and reflecting increasing confidence among large investors.

If the optimism continues, this token could extend its rise to $0.0000146 in the near future. However, if retail investors come back, the price of SHIB may drop to $0.0000137.

Optimism (OP)

Layer-2 token (L2) OP is also another altcoin that crypto whales have purchased this week. According to a report from IntoTheBlock, the historical concentration of the token in whale wallets has increased by 1% over the past week. Currently, these wallets hold 2.61 billion OP, accounting for 61% of the circulating supply.

This increase in concentration indicates the growing confidence of whales in the long-term value of OP, especially as demand from institutions for ETH also rises sharply. OP has increased by 23% in the past week and is currently trading at $0.67. If the accumulation trend continues, the upward momentum could push it above $0.69.

On the contrary, if the bears regain control, they could push the price of OP down to $0.54.
