Large investors are snapping up promising altcoins in October
Date: 2025-10-13 Author: Oliver Abernathy Categories: CRYPTO PAYMENTS
Market activity has noticeably decreased in recent days, triggering a correction in several tokens. Despite this, large cryptocurrency holders—so-called "whales"—actively exploited the declines for strategic purchases.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI)
The WLFI token lost approximately 12% of its value over the week, but this movement signaled accumulation to major investors. According to Nansen, addresses holding more than $1 million in WLFI increased their holdings by 4.82%, bringing their total holdings to 20.18 million tokens.
This investor behavior could pave the way for a reversal of the current downward trend. If whale interest persists, WLFI could strengthen above $0.1814. However, a decrease in their activity could lead to a correction to $0.1611.
PEPE
The PEPE memecoin, which operates on the Solana blockchain, has also attracted the attention of major market participants. According to Santiment, addresses holding between 10,000 and 100,000 tokens have increased their holdings by 8 million coins over the past week.
At press time, PEPE was priced at $0.00000932, down 5% from the previous week. However, the interest of major investors indicates a gradual accumulation of the token at low levels, which could herald increased demand for memecoins. Under favorable conditions, the price could exceed $0.00000984, while a decrease in market activity could return the token to support levels around $0.00000830.
The Sandbox (SAND)
The SAND altcoin, linked to the development of the metaverse, demonstrated stability throughout the week, but this very fact has piqued the interest of major investors. According to Santiment, addresses holding between 100 million and 1 billion SAND increased their balances by 20 million tokens.
The increased interest in SAND could drive its price up to $0.2899. However, if investor activity declines, the price risks a correction to $0.2545.
Thus, despite the overall decline in market activity, whales continue to seek profitable entry points into promising altcoins. Their accumulation strategy points to a possible recovery in interest in individual digital assets in the coming weeks.
