Whale activity in LDO, ILV and HOT signals incoming volatility

Brian Quinlivan, marketing specialist and crypto analyst at Santiment observed major altcoin transactions as crypto markets begin their recovery. Market participants are currently awaiting the US PCE release on Friday, Bitcoin, Ethereum and large market capitalization asset started their recovery on Thursday. 

Three major altcoins that noted a spike in whale activity are LDO, ILV and HOT. Lido Dao noted several large value transfers on its network throughout 2023. Some of the value transfers can be attributed to movements among self custody LDO wallets.

Interestingly, the supply on exchanges, a key metric for LDO, is just under 6%, a relatively strong number for an altcoin. While the supply is below 6%, it implies a relatively low selling pressure on the asset. 

ILV, an ERC20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, noted a huge ascent above $106 in February 2023. Since then the asset’s price nosedived below $47 and the exchange supply steadily increased to hit 14.5% in May.

Santiment’s experts consider the current price as a plausible bottom for ILV. The token is likely geared towards a recovery in its price. 

Similar to Illuvium, Holo observed large transfers on its network, with whale activity once or twice every month.

The recent spike in whale activity however had no significant impact on the supply of HOT across exchanges.
