🐋Where Are the Whales Heading? Notes on November Hopes and Appetite of the Giants of the Crypto Market.
I've always wondered what the crypto market resembles. Sometimes I think it's an ocean. On the surface, there are waves of panic and excitement that everyone can see. But the true driving force is hidden beneath the depths. These are the whales — the largest players whose decisions can set the direction of the currents.
It's interesting to look at analyst data and see where these giants are directing their capital ahead of November. The picture that emerges is quite revealing.
Here's what catches their attention:
1. Ethereum (ETH) is coming to the forefront. It seems whales are increasingly believing in the power of altcoins. Data shows that ETH accumulation is in full swing. Perhaps it's a bet that the smart contract ecosystem and dApps will grow faster in the next market cycle. It's no longer just "digital silver," but a foundation for an entire digital economy.
2. XRP — a contrarian bet. Despite all the legal battles, whales surprisingly believe in its future.
3. Chainlink (LINK) — the quiet worker. While everyone watches the price, whales see the technology. Active LINK accumulation is likely directly related to the development of its protocols, which are becoming the "nervous system" of the blockchain, connecting it to the real world. This is an investment not just in a coin, but in critical Web3 infrastructure.
4. Stellar (XLM) — a waking giant? The surge in activity around XLM makes one think. Perhaps whales are anticipating some news or see potential in its focus on international transfers and banking services, which could be in demand under new market conditions.
What does this tell us?
Watching whale movements is like peeking at the cards of experienced players. It’s not a guarantee of victory, but a powerful signal for reflection. They don't act on emotions; their decisions are the result of deep analysis.
It's important to remember: this is not a call for mindless copying. Following whales is a tactic, but your own strategy should be based on personal research and risk understanding. Deep currents can change, and a whole school of small fish might follow the whale, which in itself creates a new trend.
So where are we heading? It seems whales are betting on the future, where value is determined not only by name but also by utility, technological breakthroughs, and resilience in storms.

The first exchange-traded fund in the United States offering exposure to the Ripple token – XRP, has passed a key milestone, surpassing $100 million in assets under management just a few weeks after its debut.
The REX-Osprey XRP ETF Fund (ticker: XRPR), launched on September 18, 2025, is already managing over $100.89 million in assets, according to data shared by the publisher REX Shares on the X platform.
The rapid growth highlights the increasing interest of investors in diversified crypto products beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Data from CME Group further shows that institutional appetite for XRP is increasing. Since the launch of XRP and Micro XRP futures in May, over 567,000 contracts have been executed, representing a cumulative trading volume of approximately $26.9 billion.
The market performance of XRP is also improving. In the last 24 hours, the token has slightly risen to $2.63, with its total market capitalization reaching around $157.8 billion. XRPR remains the first fund in the U.S. offering direct exposure to spot XRP, albeit under a structure different from a traditional SEC-approved ETF.
While the official spot XRP ETFs are still awaiting regulatory approval in the US, the success of the REX-Osprey fund shows that investor interest in XRP-based financial products continues to grow – even before the formal green light from regulators.
