The crypto market had been able to pause its downtrend, causing digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum to recover once more. However, the recovery will only be short-lived as the price of Ethereum crashed in the middle of Monday. What this had done was set the stage for what will be a bearish week. However, while the market had panicked, Ethereum whales have been quite busy when it comes to their trading activities.

Mostly, Ethereum whales have continued with their normal activities but there have been some new coins making their way onto the radar of these large investors. These altcoins point to how these whales are picturing the market and what their long-term plans may be.

Over the last 24 hours, the usual culprits have topped the list of the top ten most purchased tokens. These have been ETH tokens, and a good chunk of stablecoins such as USDT and USDC. Besides these, Ethereum whales have been buying a lot of Enjoin (ENJ) tokens. The average purchase amount sits at $9,487 worth of ENJ tokens, putting it in 4th place on the list of most purchased tokens by these whales.
Metaverse token, SAND, has long been a favorite for Ethereum investors and as such, continues to feature heavily on their purchases. The average purchase amount over the past day has been $6,339 or 5,000 SAND tokens.
These two tokens also feature heavily in the trading activities of the whales. SAND has seen an average of $31,999 worth of tokens being traded while ENJ has come out to $18,598 worth of tokens being traded.
