Whale investors, known to move cryptocurrency markets with their moves, are showing significant interest in coins like Shiba Inu, Cardano, and the latest sensation, JasmyCoin.

What Happened: Large transactions, worth at least $100,000, for each of these cryptocurrencies have more than doubled this week compared to the 2024 averages, according to on-chain analytics firm Santiment.

Following this, the aforementioned coins witnessed a notable surge in price, as indicated below.

CryptocurrencyGains this week +/-Price (Recorded at 10:35 p.m. EDT)
JasmyCoin (CRYPTO: Jasmy)+12%$0.03899
Shiba Inu SHIB/USD+9%$0.00002588
Cardano DOGE/USD+3.8%$0.4612

The surge in whale activity, followed by a rise in price, led Santiment to infer that wealthy investors were accumulating—a bullish signal for any cryptocurrency.

Among the three, SHIB was the most-traded coin in the last 24 hours, with volumes rising 31% to $929 million.

Why It Matters: Whales possess a large stash of cryptocurrencies and typically include institutional investors, including big banks, hedge funds, and high-income individuals.

Their growing interest in the coins mentioned above indicates confidence in their near-term prospects, spurred partly by the recent rally in blue-chip currencies like Bitcoin BTC/USD and Ethereum ETH/USD.

More than 65% of SHIB holders are currently in profit, while nearly 80% of JASMY holders are "in the money," according to data from IntoTheBlock. As for ADA, majority of holders are still in losses as of this writing.
