As December 2025 approaches, data shows that crypto “whales” — large holders with significant capital — are quietly increasing their exposure to a select group of altcoins rather than selling off amid late-November volatility.
One of the standout tokens in this accumulation wave is Ethena (ENA). Over the past week, ENA’s price jumped 21.3%, yet large wallets added another 2.84% to their holdings, equating to about 1.1 million extra tokens.Technical charts suggest that if ENA breaks above the $0.28 level, it could aim for $0.30 or even $0.32 — but a drop below $0.27 could expose it to a slide toward $0.21.
Meanwhile, XRP is seeing perhaps the most aggressive whale accumulation. Since November 23–25, large wallets added roughly 1.12 billion XRP, amounting to over $2 billion in exposure. With XRP trading near $2.20 after a 16% weekly gain, the fresh buying entered at strength — not weakness — bolstering the bullish case.For the bullish scenario to hold, price needs to overcome resistance around $2.30; if that happens, targets at $2.45–$2.61 could come into view.
The third notable name is Cardano (ADA). Two major cohorts of ADA holders — wallets owning over 1 billion ADA and those with 10–100 million — have added combined ~280 million tokens since late November. With ADA near $0.41 and showing bullish divergence on shorter-term charts, the path could lead to $0.52 if a clean break above $0.43 occurs.
In sum, the recent accumulation by whales across ENA, XRP and ADA suggests that “smart money” is positioning for possible December gains. Whether those bets pay off will depend heavily on the tokens maintaining support levels and overcoming key resistances. As always in crypto, volatility remains high — and past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
