These are the altcoins that whales buy
On the other hand, according to WhaleStats data, the top 100 Ethereum whales are buying various stablecoins. The most purchased coin was USDT with a purchase of $567,955. Then, aWETH was purchased with $560,653, stETH with $398,430, wstETH with $397,118, and aSTETH with $396,852. Most of these coins appear as Ethereum liquid staking derivatives. Considering that the coins staked on the ETH network will be withdrawn soon, it may be normal to buy and sell ETH subject to liquid staking.
Liquid staking was created as an alternative to traditional staking, offering flexibility and greater efficiency. Specifically, it allows stakers to access their assets while continuing to enjoy the benefits of staking their tokens. Those who stake the tokens agree to lock their assets for a certain period of time. By doing this, they may miss out on opportunities to make a profit by trading or otherwise using their tokens. However, through liquid staking, networks enjoy the security associated with staked tokens. At the same time, token holders have the opportunity to use their assets as they wish while continuing to receive staking rewards.
Finally, the biggest Ethereum whales are buying $91,451 worth of USDC, $57,332 worth of wBTC, $19,924 worth of BUSD, $4,144 worth of MATIC and $2,911 CRV. Meanwhile, it is worth highlighting that BUSD is also a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar.
