What Crypto Whales Are Buying After a Successful Crypto Week in the US

The US crypto market has just received the clearest positive signal. On July 18, the GENIUS Act, the first US stablecoin regulation, officially became law, signed by President Trump after passing both the House and Senate. Along with that, the CLARITY Act, aimed at dividing crypto regulatory duties between SEC and CFTC, has passed the House and is moving towards the Senate.

These consecutive legislative victories mark the most important regulatory momentum in years. As the market reacts, whale wallets have been rotating capital into tokens synchronized with the bullish cycle, infrastructure, and meme-based stories. On-chain data shows three altcoins are attracting attention.

Lido DAO (LDO)

Lido DAO has witnessed a strong accumulation wave this week, with whale holdings increasing 40.38%, reaching 18.68 million LDO, valued at approximately $23.17 million at the current price of $1.24. The increase in activity from these large wallets coincides with LDO attempting to overcome recent resistance levels.

Exchange balances have decreased 4.27% to 282.7 million LDO, indicating continued outflow as tokens move to self-custody. Moreover, the top 100 holders now control 828.85 million tokens, increasing 0.53%, showing growing dominance and tighter supply concentration.

Additionally, Lido's distribution score remains low at 8, reinforcing the internally-focused nature of the supply base. Meanwhile, smart money decreased 6.64%, possibly due to profit-taking from previous entries. Unsurprisingly, LDO has recorded over a 41% increase in the past week.

With the GENIUS Act passing in the US House, staking-focused assets like Lido may be favored by whales predicting positive regulatory signals. As Ethereum staking becomes increasingly legalized, protocols like Lido seem well-positioned to attract institutional interest.

FLOKI (FLOKI)

FLOKI has attracted strong attention from crypto whales this week, with large investors increasing their positions by 4.63%, pushing whale holdings to 27.24 billion FLOKI. At the current price of $0.00013974, this equates to approximately $176,000 in new whale flow over the past 7 days. This increase aligns with Floki's 100% surge last month, suggesting whales might be ahead of the next potential uptrend.

The top 100 addresses now hold 8.95 trillion tokens, increasing 0.35%, indicating stable accumulation at the top. Despite the increase, the distribution score remains at 9, suggesting a somewhat concentrated but expanding holder base. Exchange balances have decreased 1.3% to 2.13 trillion, signaling slight outflow and potential supply scarcity forming on centralized platforms.

Supported by meme coin momentum and community speculation, FLOKI is emerging as a bright spot following the GENIUS Act, especially as US regulatory clarity brings confidence to riskier tokens. This confidence stems from traders' ability to move stablecoins to riskier options without worrying about sudden changes.

Book of Meme (BOME)

BOME, a Solana-based meme token, has increased 31% in 7 days and 70% in the past month, driven by the meme coin revival fueled by US retail investors' optimism after the GENIUS Act. Crypto whale holdings increased to 1.46 billion BOME, marking a 2.71% increase. Whale holdings, at the current price of $0.0024, equate to $3.53 million in token value.

Additionally, the distribution score is 15, indicating concentration but improving participation. Furthermore, the top 100 addresses slightly decreased 0.01%, possibly reflecting internal reallocation. Exchange reserves decreased 0.11% to 56.54 billion, supporting the argument of reduced selling pressure and consolidating the on-chain uptrend.

The strong recovery of meme tokens (FLOKI and BOME) seems more than just sentiment; it coincides with new appetite from large investors in a week where broad US legislative victories have brought confidence to speculative altcoins. With unchanged public wallets and smart money, whales remain the primary market movers here.
