According to WhaleStats, Fantom (FTM) has been among the top ten tokens purchased by the top 100 ETH wallets this week.
Fantom is trading at $1.34 at time of writing. The 43rd-ranked crypto asset by market cap is up more than 5.5% in the past week.
The top 100 ETH addresses have also been selling the popular memecoin and Dogecoin (DOGE) rival Shiba Inu (SHIB), according to WhaleStats.
SHIB is down 4% compared to where it was priced one month ago. The 15th-ranked crypto asset by market cap is up more than 9% in the past week.
In terms of Bitcoin (BTC) whales, crypto analytics firm Santiment notes on Twitter that deep-pocketed investors have been accumulating BTC since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“The amount of Bitcoin addresses holding 1k to 10k BTC has jumped by 8.3% since the Russia-Ukraine war was made official. The 2,203 addresses is at a 1-year high. Both this tier and the 100-to-1k BTC tier have historically foreshadowed price moves.”
