Whale Watch 2025: These Altcoins Just Got Millions Dumped on Exchanges – Time to Buy or Bail?
Crypto whales are making waves again—and this time, they’re unloading bags.
Which altcoins just saw millions flood into exchanges? Hint: It’s not just the usual suspects. While Bitcoin maximalists nap, the big players are quietly repositioning.
Exchange Inflows Spike: Signals or Noise?
When whale wallets move, markets tremble. Recent on-chain data shows unusual exchange deposits across mid-cap alts—some hitting levels last seen before major corrections. Opportunistic accumulation or smart-money exits? Depends who’s holding the bag.
The Cynic’s Take: ‘Liquidity Events’
Nothing warms a VC’s heart like retail traders ‘HODLing’ their unlocked tokens. Meanwhile, the whales? They’re cashing out—because someone’s got to pay for those Maldives villas.
Gravity Token registered the highest market cap impact, with $2 million worth transferred—representing 1.81% of its total value. The sender address was linked to a high-balance wallet, indicating a possible rotation or strategic divestment.

Among other notable transfers were $2.9 million in PEPE and $1.2 million in First Digital USD (FDUSD), both sent to Binance. FDUSD’s transfer originated from a wallet labeled as a CEX withdrawal, suggesting the funds may be part of rebalancing flows.
Apecoin (APE) and Mantle (MNT) also made the list with $1 million transfers each. The APE transaction came from a wallet with ties to NFT platforms and OpenSea, reinforcing the close link between NFT ecosystems and token movements.
While the motives behind these moves remain unclear, the timing and concentration suggest whales may be preparing for volatility or reacting to broader macro shifts in crypto markets.
