When BTC prices fluctuate, the true institutions have long since shifted their focus. On-chain data shows that in December, whale accumulation shifted from the broader market to projects with a market cap under one billion. What logic is behind this?
Let's look at three real cases—
On the Base chain, the DEX project Avantis (AVNT), with a market cap of $89 million, whales directly accumulated 11 million tokens in December, causing exchange reserves to drop by 5%. What does this indicate? Large holders are more willing to hold, reducing selling pressure.
Next, consider Succinct (PROVE), a project in the ZKP sector with a market cap of $75 million. Its massive holdings surged by 5.34% in December. In such a market environment, some still dare to add positions—either they see the cyclical logic or they are supported by new narratives for next year.
The most interesting is Plume (PLUME). This RWA sector project absorbed nearly 700 billion in trading volume in December, with the price rebounding 35% from the bottom. The project team also released expectations of an RWA ecosystem takeoff by 2026 at the end of the year.
What do these three projects have in common? Low market cap, highly concentrated holdings, and strong sector narratives. These are the three key tags for the next doubling opportunity.
Bull markets' hundred-bagger coins never come from blue chips; they always start from low-market-cap projects with imagination potential. Instead of fearing missing out, spend time researching—allocate 10% of your position to track these projects chosen by smart money. The key is "be patient in finding opportunities, and act precisely when the time comes."

Whales are sweeping through low-market-cap projects. I see through this trick; the real money is in the corners.

whales dumping their governance tokens to chase micro caps... classic protocol darwinism at work. these low-liquidity plays are just margin of disruption waiting to snap. obvious accumulation patterns but nah, the real question is whether these projects even have defensible economics or just narratives propping them up til the next cycle collapse.

Whales are sweeping up small coins, this vibe is a bit right... but the problem is, can we really keep up?

Whales are sweeping up small coins, which is indeed interesting... But what if it's just the prelude to another rug pull?

Smart money has already started sweeping small coins, while we're still basking in BTC.

Whales are all mining low market cap tokens, and we're still chasing high-value blue chips—it's really a loss.

Low-market-cap projects are indeed easy to double, but nine out of ten times they will go to zero afterward.
