Crypto Whales Are Buying These 4 Altcoins in the Current Market Crash
Increased whale activity is noted in several altcoins (FLOKI, AAVE, SKY) and Chainlink (LINK) has seen a surge in whale transactions.
Ethereum (ETH) is showing positive signs, retesting a key support level.
Analysts anticipate Quantitative Easing (QE) by the Federal Reserve, and projects like USDS are gaining traction.
Eric Trump, the Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, recently shared a post on X, suggesting that now is a great time to add Ethereum (ETH) to your portfolio. This has fueled increased calls for an upcoming altseason. The ETH/BTC pair has also recently retested a key multi-year support level around 0.023, indicating that a rebound could be on the horizon.
Crypto analyst Benjamin Vowen also believes that the Federal Reserve will soon begin Quantitative Easing (QE), a move that could further boost the U.S. economy and, in turn, the crypto market.
Let’s dive into the details.
