4 Crypto Gems Primed for Explosion as Smart Whale Goes All-In on Long Bets
Whale alert: A crypto heavyweight just dropped a massive long position—and these four assets are riding the wave. Buckle up.
When the big players move, markets tremble. Now, one savvy whale is betting big on a select few cryptocurrencies, signaling potential fireworks ahead. Here’s what’s on their radar—and why you should care.
1. Bitcoin (BTC): The OG flexes its muscles
No surprises here. The whale’s stacking BTC like it’s going out of style—which, given Wall Street’s sudden love affair with ETFs, it definitely isn’t. Institutional FOMO meets whale conviction? That’s a recipe for volatility.
2. Ethereum (ETH): The smart contract kingpin
With ETH 2.0 staking rewards still juicy and Layer-2 adoption exploding, Ethereum remains the whale’s playground. Their move suggests they’re betting on the merge’s long tail—or just front-running the next DeFi pump.
3. Solana (SOL): The speed demon
SOL’s been the comeback kid of 2025, and our whale isn’t missing the party. With transaction speeds that leave ETH in the dust (when the network’s up), it’s a high-risk, high-reward play.
4. BNB: The dark horse
Binance’s native token always flies under the radar—until it doesn’t. The whale’s position hints at behind-the-scenes ecosystem growth… or just a calculated bet on regulatory fatigue.
Pro tip: When whales zig, retail zags—usually straight into a liquidity trap. Trade carefully.

In addition, the same address also holds over 501,000 HYPE tokens, currently worth around $23.35 million. This position alone shows an unrealized gain of $12.48 million, representing a 115% increase. Onchain data also shows a separate wallet depositing $8.62 million in USDC and placing a new order to buy HYPE.
Price Holds Key Support After Breakout
HYPE was trading at $46.98 at the time of writing, up 3% in the last 24 hours. Over the past week, the token has pulled back by about 4%, but it continues to follow a steady upward path that began in late March.
Recently, HYPE moved above the $44–$45 zone, a level that acted as resistance in previous sessions. That same range is now being tested as support.
A bounce from this area could point toward another push toward $49 and the $50 mark. If the zone fails to hold, the next possible support sits NEAR the rising trendline at around $42.
Indicators Show Ongoing Market Strength
On the technical side, the Parabolic SAR remains below the price line, a sign that the current uptrend is still active. The RSI reads 62.68, just under the signal line at 63.15. These levels are consistent with a market in trend, without signs of exhaustion.
According to Coinglass, daily trading volume on Hyperliquid ROSE by more than 63% to reach $1.46 billion. Open interest also increased by nearly 2%, now standing at $2.13 billion.
As reported by CryptoPotato, the Hyperliquid platform has added new access points. Phantom wallet now supports direct perpetual trading for users in the EU. This new feature runs through Hyperliquid’s API and keeps full control in users’ hands.
Recent volume numbers show steady platform growth. In the last quarter alone, Hyperliquid processed $648 billion in trades.
Over the past year, it recorded $1.57 trillion in total volume. The exchange now holds more than 60% of the perpetual DEX market, outperforming its nearest competitor by a wide margin.
