Among other altcoins, FTX Token (FTT) was first on the radar of Ethereum whales today. According to on-chain data, whales are collecting these altcoin projects as the market drifts to the bottom.
Ethereum whales rushed to FTT token with this news
Ethereum whales may have gotten insider information before FTX announced an expansion to Canada on Friday, according to on-chain data. WhaleStats reported that the whale named “BlueWhale0116” alone received $782.6 million worth of FTX tokens. With this purchase, Whale has withdrawn over 33 million FTT tokens in just 2 transactions.
FTT rises to third place among the most purchased
The WhaleStats chart below shows which coins whales have bought the most in the last 24 hours. As we mentioned above, news of the FTX exchange’s expansion into Canada resulted in a whale stampede. Meanwhile, USDC and ETH were top among the other coins purchased. Given the market is on the decline, it seems that whales are switching to stablecoins as safe havens.
Further down the list, Polygon (MATIC) and Paxos Gold (PAXG) occupy positions 5 and 6. Maket (MKR), which has lost nearly 30% in value since last week, is in seventh place. Fetch (FET), which develops tools and infrastructure using artificial intelligence and cryptography, saw a purchase of $ 5,326 today. Interestingly, Gala Games (GALA), a popular metaverse project, tops the list at around $3.5. Looking at the overall outlook, the list of stablecoins in the first place is as follows.
- USD Coin (USDC)
- Ethereum (ETH)
- FTX Token (FTT)
- Tether (USDT)
- Binance USD (BUSD)
- Polyon (MATIC)
- Paxos Gold (PAXG)
- Maker (MKR)
- Fetch (FET)
- Gala Games (GALA)

The general view of the list is as follows.
