Crypto Wells bought these coins in the first week of January

The post-election rally sparked by Donald Trump's November 5 US presidential victory has cooled significantly, leading the broader market into a strengthening phase from early 2025.

Despite this slowdown, crypto wallets remain active, boosting stocks of select assets in the first week of the year. Among the signs showing higher whale interest are Toncoin (TON), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET).

toncoin (ton)

Telegram-linked TonCoin (TON) is one of the altcoins bought by CryptoWales this week. An increase in net outflows by its large shareholders confirms this. According to IntoTheBlock, this has rocketed by 220% in the past seven days.

Large holders are whale addresses that own more than 0.1% of the asset transfer offer. Their net flow tracks the difference between the coins they buy and sell over a period of time. These well addresses are buying more coins as their net flow increases. This is a bearish sign and suggests the possibility of a price rally.

If tons of whales continue to buy the altcoin, it could continue to rise and go up to $6.

Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Leading meme coin Shiba Inu is another crypto asset that caught the whales' attention this week.

BeenCrypto's analysis of SHIB supply distribution shows that whale addresses holding between 100,000 and 1,000,000 SHIB have accumulated an additional 1.94 billion SHIB since the start of the year, bringing this group's coin holdings to a record high of 135.92 billion coins.

If these whales continue to buy meme coin, the price may increase to $0.000030.

Arbitrum whales have also been spotted this week. At Santiment, the address balance between 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 ARB currently stands at 2.31 billion, up 1% during the review period.

If the accumulation continues, the price of the Layer-2 token may rise as January progresses.
