Crypto News: Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Pepeto (PEPETO) Rank Among the Most Accumulated Tokens by Whale Investors

Crypto News: Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Pepeto

The broader crypto market experienced a sharp shock after the U.S. unexpectedly announced 100% tariffs on Chinese imports. The news triggered widespread panic, resulting in nearly $19.5 billion in leveraged liquidations as major cryptocurrencies posted double-digit declines.

Yet beneath the surface, large holders were quietly doing the opposite. Whale wallets began accumulating aggressively throughout the downturn. Recent crypto news highlights Solana, Cardano, and Pepeto ((https://pepeto.io/) as three of the most accumulated assets during the sell-off. When whales buy into fear, it often signals confidence in an upcoming directional move.

Solana (SOL): Smart Money Steps In as Price Slips Below $200

Solana's price has weakened significantly compared with earlier trading levels, with SOL recently trading around ~$85-$90 after bottoming into the $70s during a broad market sell-off, a far cry from the ~$200+ range referenced previously. Short-term technical action shows volatility and attempts at stabilization rather than a clear bullish breakout, and the price remains below several prior key levels after the breakdown.

On-chain and market data paint a mixed picture of investor behavior. While some whales and institutional vehicles (including selective Solana-linked ETFs) have continued to show accumulation or inflows, broader network participation and long-term holder accumulation rates have cooled or slowed, suggesting recent buying may be more opportunistic and tactical rather than a firm return of conviction. At the same time, traders are watching whether SOL can reclaim psychological resistance near $100+, a reclaim that could signal short-term relief and set up testing of higher levels.

Unlike the old optimistic tier near $240-$245, the current context places important resistance closer to $100-$110 and then into the low-$120s if broader sentiment improves. A sustained move above those levels could reopen upside toward the mid-$100s and beyond, but failure to solidify support risks SOL remaining range-bound near current lows or testing deeper support zones.

Despite price pressure, the Solana network itself continues operating smoothly, and certain on-chain fundamentals remain intactm, suggesting the recent dip is being viewed by some large holders as a corrective repricing rather than a structural breakdown

Cardano (ADA): Institutional Wallets Quietly Position for the Next Move

Santiment data still shows signs of large ADA holders accumulating, with whale wallets in the 10-100 million ADA range adding to their positions even as prices have weakened. Recent on-chain reports note continued incremental accumulation (e.g., roughly 210 million ADA added by whales over several weeks) despite sloppy price action, reinforcing a buy-the-dip narrative among larger holders.

Price data shows Cardano (ADA) currently trading around $0.27-$0.28, down sharply from earlier levels and under pressure from broader risk-off conditions. While this is far below the higher ranges discussed in previous outlooks, many on-chain observers continue viewing sustained whale accumulation as a potential foundation for future support.

Reported exchange reserve movements have varied, and recent analysis indicates selling pressure has diminished versus earlier weeks, a dynamic some interpret as reduced distribution rather than fresh accumulation. Additionally, futures open interest and trader participation metrics have weakened, suggesting less aggressive positioning at current levels.

Speculation around an ADA spot ETF remains part of the narrative supporting sentiment, though regulatory developments have been mixed and have influenced market confidence at times. Past coverage noted rising odds and interest in such products, but the macro and regulatory backdrop continues to weigh on near-term price action.

Technical observers still point to key support and resistance zones near current levels (e.g., ~$0.27-$0.30) as critical for determining whether corrective consolidation expands or stabilizes. More bullish pattern interpretations from analysts (including longer-term targets like $2) remain anchored in scenario-based forecasts rather than immediate technical momentum given the present weakness.

Pepeto (PEPETO): Whale Accumulation Meets Meme-Utility Infrastructure

Alongside SOL and ADA, Pepeto (https://pepeto.io/) is increasingly appearing on whale accumulation trackers. Still in its presale phase, Pepeto is priced around $0.000000182 and has already raised more than $7 million, signaling early conviction despite market turbulence.

Unlike typical meme launches, Pepeto is positioned as a next-generation Ethereum meme-utility ecosystem, blending culture with infrastructure. The project is building components such as PepetoSwap, Pepeto Bridge, staking, and a planned Pepeto Exchange focused on verified meme-utility tokens. All activity within the ecosystem is designed to route value back through the PEPETO token, forming a long-term demand loop.

Security and transparency have also played a role in whale interest. Pepeto's smart contracts have been fully audited by SolidProof and Coinsult, reducing early-stage risk and explaining why larger wallets are comfortable accumulating before public listings.

Community incentives are amplifying visibility. Pepeto has announced $700,000 in total giveaway rewards, driving rapid wallet growth and sustained engagement during the presale phase. Rather than pure hype, the narrative centers on early positioning within an infrastructure-backed meme ecosystem, a combination that historically attracts smart money before broader market attention arrives.

Conclusion: Whale Behavior Often Speaks Louder Than Headlines

Whale accumulation across SOL, ADA, and Pepeto (https://pepeto.io/) points to a diversified rotation strategy rather than blind panic. These large holders appear to be positioning ahead of what they believe could be the next market recovery phase.

If accumulation trends persist, these assets may emerge as leaders in the next cycle. Monitoring wallet inflows, volume expansion, and upcoming listing events will be critical. For Pepeto in particular, early positioning during the presale phase could prove significant if ecosystem activity and exchange exposure unfold as planned.
