A crypto mega-whale just went on an altcoin buying spree and purchased $23.9 million worth of two digital assets.
The blockchain-transaction tracker WhaleStats reveals that an unnamed Ethereum wallet bought 135,000 Terra (LUNA) for $6.72 million.
Terra is a public blockchain protocol that underpins a suite of decentralized stablecoins. The ninth-ranked crypto asset is currently down 5.18% on the day and priced at $51.35.
The fourth-richest whale wallet also purchased five million tokens of virtual world The Sandbox (SAND) for $17.2 million.
The Sandbox is having an up day, in the green by 4.87% and trading for $3.61.
WhaleStats reports that there’s also been a feeding frenzy for layer-2 scaling solution Polygon (MATIC), which is up 6.63% and valued at $1.70.
A single unnamed Ethereum whale made four separate purchases of Polygon in one day totaling nearly $6.2 million:
1,199,985 MATIC worth $1.94 million
1,000,090 MATIC worth $1.66 million
1,159,995 MATIC worth $1.92 million
845,778 MATIC worth $1.40 million
At time of writing, the whale’s total Polygon holdings are worth over $24.2 million.
WhaleStats also highlights the altcoins that have been bought the most in the past 24 hours.
“Just in: CHZ @Chiliz is back on top-10 purchased tokens by 1,000 biggest ETH wallets.
We’ve also got YFI, MATIC & WOO on the list.”
