3 Altcoins Crypto Whales Are Quietly Accumulating Ahead of Christmas and New Year 2026
Jakarta, Pintu News – Ahead of the Christmas and New Year 2026 celebrations, crypto whale activity is heating up again with massive accumulation movements against a number of altcoins.
In the midst of market volatility, large investors are seeing strategic opportunities to collect potential crypto assets in the millions. This phenomenon attracts the attention of market participants who try to read the direction of the next movement.
Chainlink (LINK)
In the past 48 hours, whales (large owners of crypto assets) have reportedly bought as many as 4.73 million Chainlink (LINK) tokens, as revealed by crypto analyst @ali_charts in a post on platform X on December 4, 2025.

Based on the included graph from Santiment, there was a significant spike in the accumulation of LINK tokens by wallets holding between 100,000 and 1,000,000 LINK. This accumulation activity comes after a long period of price decline since early November 2025, during which the price of LINK briefly dropped to close to $12.
However, right after the large increase in accumulation by the whales, the price of LINK jumped sharply to around $14.35, reflecting the positive sentiment that may have been triggered by such large purchases. The total volume held by the whale group also increased sharply, indicating a potential trend reversal or returning institutional interest in the asset.
This phenomenon shows that large investors see strategic opportunities amidst corrected prices, which often signals the beginning of further upward movement in the crypto market.
Dogecoin (DOGE)
In the past 48 hours, whales have bought 480 million Dogecoin (DOGE), according to a post by crypto analyst @ali_charts on December 4, 2025.
Data from Santiment shows a significant spike in DOGE accumulation by wallets with large holdings, between 1 million and 100 million DOGE.
The chart illustrates that after experiencing a steep downward trend since mid-October – from around $0.20 to $0.13 – the price of DOGE has started to show signs of recovery. Currently, the price of DOGE is hovering around $0.15, as whale accumulation increases.
This increase in accumulation comes at a time when the price is at a low point, which is often considered a strategic opportunity for large investors to accumulate assets with upside potential. This movement has also fueled speculation that Dogecoin may be preparing for a rebound or at least an end to its downward phase.

Monad (MON)
The whale account with address 0x755b continues to show aggressive accumulation of Monad (MON) tokens, despite currently carrying an unrealized loss of more than $250,000.
Based on data from Lookonchain, since the launch of $MON, this whale has spent a total of 2.31 million USDC to purchase approximately 70.64 million MON at an average price of $0.03267 per token. Some of the most recent transactions recorded show large purchases, such as:
- 131,864 USDC for approximately 4.15 million MON
- 86,220 USDC for 3.03 million MONs
- 91,268 USDC for over 3 million MON
and several other transactions worth tens of thousands of dollars.
However, the current exchange rate of the $MON token seems to be below the average purchase price of the whale, causing the accumulated tokens to experience a significant floating loss.
However, this sustained action suggests that the whale has a long-term belief in $MON’s potential, and is likely capitalizing on the low price momentum to continue expanding its holdings.
