Key Takeaways
A major whale spent over $1 million on TRUMP across Solana and Hyperliquid.
Holders in the 10 million to 100 million VIRTUAL are steadily increasing their positions.
Despite a 35% drawdown, wallets holding 10,000+ SYRUP have risen to 1,361.
After weeks of speculation, the Fed finally took action with a rate cut in October.
Crypto whales, often the earliest movers in new market cycles, have begun scooping up altcoins that could thrive as monetary conditions loosen.
While the Bitcoin (BTC) price holds steady, these altcoins are attracting significant inflows, suggesting that major players are betting on fresh gains in November 2025.
Here are the top three altcoins that whales are buying. In this analysis, CCN also reveals how this accumulation could affect their prices.
Official Trump (TRUMP)
TRUMP has emerged as one of the altcoins attracting significant interest from whales.
According to Lookonchain, a large investor recently created new wallets to accumulate TRUMP on Solana while simultaneously opening leveraged long positions on Hyperliquid, already sitting on more than $1.5 million in unrealized profit.

On Solana, the whale spent 5,346 SOL (approximately $1.07 million) to purchase 165,401 TRUMP tokens valued at around $1.4 million, securing $335,000 in unrealized gains.
Meanwhile, on Hyperliquid, the same trader deposited 485,669 USDC and used maximum leverage to long 1.13 million TRUMP tokens (worth $9.5 million),
This aggressive multi-chain positioning highlights growing confidence among high-value traders. Should this trend persist, Trump’s price might add to the 40% hike it has seen over the last seven days.
However, a decline in crypto whale accumulation might invalidate this prediction.
Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL)
Another altcoin drawing significant whale attention is VIRTUAL, primarily fueled by the bullish sentiment surrounding the AI narrative.
At press time, VIRTUAL trades at $1.37. This represents a 78% surge over the past seven days as investors flock to AI-linked assets.
According to Santiment data, the number of tokens held by large holders — those in the 10 million to 100 million VIRTUAL cohort — has been steadily increasing.
This accumulation trend suggests that whales are positioning for further upside. Should the enthusiasm around AI-driven projects continue, it could keep VIRTUAL’s price momentum strong in the near term.
As such, the altcoin might trade higher in November 2025. On the contrary, a drop in crypto whale accumulation might invalidate the thesis.
Maple Finance (SYRUP)
Lastly, SYRUP, the native token of the Maple Finance network, has also become a target for whale accumulation.
As of this writing, SYRUP’s price is down 35% from its all-time high, signaling a possible discount-buying opportunity for large holders.
Supporting this, Glassnode data shows that the number of addresses holding more than 10,000 SYRUP tokens has risen to 1,361
This highlights renewed confidence among high-value investors.
This uptick in accumulation, despite the price pullback, suggests that whales may be anticipating a rebound if market sentiment around DeFi and yield protocols strengthens in the coming weeks.

Should the trend remain the same, SYRUP’s price might hit a new all-time high next month. However, a rise in selling pressure might invalidate this thesis.
