What are the 3 names that crypto whales are hunting for this July?

As the crypto market is entering a period of stabilization amidst the cooling macroeconomic fluctuations, the flow of funds from "whales" has begun to shift focus towards more promising assets. The latest on-chain data shows that Ethereum (ETH), ONDO, and Chainlink (LINK) are the three names that giants are actively accumulating, with the expectation of generating profits within this month.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum remains the preferred choice for many whales in July. Although the price performance of ETH over the past week has not been particularly remarkable, large investors are taking advantage of this correction phase to increase their positions. Specifically, the net inflow from large holders of ETH has surged by 95% in just 7 days, according to data from IntoTheBlock.

The net cash flow metric measures the difference between the amount of coins they buy and sell over a certain period. When this metric increases, it indicates a strong accumulation trend from this group of investors.

Positive developments from whales may spread to the group of retail investors, triggering a new wave of buying ETH and pushing prices up in the short term.

ONDO

ONDO – a token closely related to real-world assets (RWA) – is becoming a new destination for whales. According to data from Santiment, the number of ONDO tokens held by whale wallets ( holding from 100 to 100,000 ONDO) has increased by an additional 3 million tokens just in the past week.

If the buying trend continues, ONDO could surpass the important resistance level at $0.92. Conversely, if the market turns negative and whales begin to take profits, ONDO could very well adjust to the support area of $0.66.

Chainlink (LINK)

Chainlink is also witnessing strong activity from large transactions. Data from Santiment shows that the number of LINK transactions valued from $100,000 to over $1 million has been steadily increasing in recent days – a sign that large investors are piling into LINK ahead of July.

If this trend continues, LINK could reach a price level of $15.53 in the short term. However, if demand weakens, the important support level at $11.04 will be the price area to watch.

Conclusion

As the market is looking for recovery signals, the buying moves of whales are an undeniable factor. ETH, ONDO, and LINK are currently in the sights of large capital flows and are likely to be the "wave makers" in July 2025.
