3 Altcoins Crypto Whales Are Buying After the Fed's Rate Cut Decision

Altcoins targeted by crypto whales suddenly came into focus after the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points. The move was not unexpected and further easing was expected in the near term. The market finally reacted with a dovish outlook today, but what stood out was not the usual bullish-bearish trade.

Instead, whales, players with strong convictions, are quietly building positions in select Token . Their accumulation suggests upside potential ahead, supported by strong technicals and the prospect of low interest rates.

EigenCloud (EIGEN)

EigenLayer has rebranded its platform to EigenCloud, while the Token still trades under the name EIGEN. The project is attracting particular attention, especially from large investors, following the recent Fed rate cut, making it one of the top altcoins that crypto whales are buying right now.

on-chain data shows that whales have been heavily involved in the past 24 hours. Their holdings have increased by 6.05%, now reaching 4.85 million EIGEN. Mega-whales have also added, bringing their balances up by 0.1% to around 1.13 billion EIGEN.

At today's price of $2.04, whales bought around 2,80,000 Token ($837,000), while mega-whales added around 1.13 million ($2.04 million).

The surge in whale buying may be related to the broader interest rate environment. Low interest rates are often seen as supportive for yield-focused platforms as investors seek higher returns beyond traditional savings.

On the chart, EIGEN has broken out of an ascending triangle with a gain of more than 33% in the past 24 hours, a bullish setup that points to continuation. If the price holds above the $2.14 breakout level, targets could extend to $2.50 and even $3.20.

Additionally, the Smart Money Index (SMI) — which tracks fast traders looking for short-term bounces — is also rising. While not as strong as whale flows, this suggests that active traders are cautiously positioning in the same direction, reinforcing the overall breakout narrative.

However, risks remain. A drop below $1.73 would weaken the structure, and a move below $1.48 would completely invalidate the bullish outlook.

Avantis (AVNT)

Avantis is a newly launched Token on Base and has quickly become one of the most talked about options following the recent Fed rate cut. In the past 24 hours, AVNT has surged nearly 25%, with whales and top addresses pouring in heavily.

on-chain data shows that whales have increased their holdings by 11.5%, now reaching 1.08 million AVNT. That means they bought about 111,390 Token, worth about $125,800 at the current price of $1.13.

Confidence appears to be stronger at the top holder level: the top 100 addresses added 4.78 million Token, up 0.49%, bringing their total to 979.44 million AVNT. In USD terms, that's about $5.4 million bought in just one day.

On the chart, AVNT is displaying a bullish flag and pole pattern on the 12-hour timeframe. While this setup points to a bold target near $6.30, that figure should be read as a maximum rather than a base case. For now, the immediate level to watch is $1.58.

A move above this level would further confirm the flag breakout and pave the way for further upside, even if it fails to reach the high target.

The Smart Money Index (SMI), which tracks fast-moving traders, has also risen to 1.62. While this indicates growing interest, a stronger confirmation of the breakout momentum would come if the SMI breaks above 1.88. That would signal a short-term consensus consistent with whale activity.

However, the risk remains, as the bullish theory would be undermined if AVNT price falls below $0.77. That could push the decline to as low as $0.26, another bold point, but on the downside.

Kamino Finance (KMNO)

Kamino Finance , a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol on Solana, has seen increased whale activity following the Fed's recent rate cut. Known for its Kamino Lend borrowing-lending platform and automated liquidation pools, Kamino has been quietly gaining momentum as investors seek yield in a lower interest rate environment.

On chain data shows that whales have increased their activity significantly over the past 24 hours. Their holdings have increased by 35.9%, now reaching 29.39 million KMNO. This means that whales have added about 7.77 million KMNO, worth about $629,000 at the current price of $0.081.

Smart Money flows — traders who tend to act quickly on short-term opportunities — have also surged, increasing more than 1,200% over the same period. This confirms that not only long-term players but also agile traders are positioning for this Token .

Additionally, the Bull-Bear Power (BBP) indicator, which measures the strength of buyers (bulls) versus sellers (bears), shows that Bull power continues to increase even after the most recent red candle. This suggests that buyers remain firmly in control of the upside momentum despite short-term corrections.

On the chart, KMNO has broken out of an ascending channel, with a possible target of $0.13 if the upside momentum continues. However, there is still a risk. If KMNO falls below $0.06, this will invalidate the bullish setup and suggest a deeper correction.

This setup suggests that Kamino Finance could be one of the interesting altcoins that crypto whales are buying right now. With whales adding millions, Smart Money inflows surging, and the Bull-bear strength heavily tilted towards buyers, KMNO could extend its rally further — provided it holds above key support levels.
