📌 TOPINDIATOURS Hot crypto: What ETH, SOL, and XRP Whales Did After the Fed’s 0.25

The Federal Reserve’s 25 basis point (bp) rate cut sparked decisive moves across the crypto market’s largest whales.

From massive Ethereum (ETH) purchases to institutional Solana (SOL) withdrawals and shifting XRP supply dynamics, the reaction reflects how deeply macro policy now shapes crypto flows.

ETH Whale Deploys $112 Million Post-Fed Cut

Just hours after the Fed announced its quarter-point cut, on-chain trackers flagged a staggering Ethereum purchase.

Whale address 0xd8d0 spent $112.34 million USDC to acquire 25,000 ETH at $4,493, according to Lookonchain.

The aggressive accumulation reflects renewed confidence that lower borrowing costs and a softer dollar could channel liquidity into risk assets.

Already buoyed by anticipation of staking demand and scaling upgrades, Ethereum saw an immediate uptick in whale activity. This suggests institutions are front-running a broader rally.

Another whale, address 0x96F4, separately withdrew 15,200 ETH, worth approximately $70.44 million, from the Binance exchange within two hours. This adds to speculation that accumulation is intensifying among deep-pocketed players.

Institutions Keep Stacking Solana

Solana has been no less active. Institutional brokerage FalconX withdrew 118,190 SOL worth $28.39 million from Binance, marking yet another sign of institutional confidence.

Lookonchain data shows six strategic reserve entities now hold over 1 million SOL each.

Forward Industries is in the lead, having a massive 6.82 million SOL portfolio worth $1.58 billion at an average cost of $232.

With Solana futures volume hitting $22.3 billion in recent weeks, and SOL now among the assets eligible for ETF listing under the SEC’s new generic standards, demand from both institutions and whales appears positioned to strengthen.

XRP Whale Moves $50 Million to Coinbase

XRP’s activity took a different form. A whale shifted 16.4 million XRP worth over $50 million to the Coinbse exchange, which traders interpret as either profit-taking or positioning ahead of new derivatives markets.

The transfer coincided with another milestone for XRP, whose holder base hit 6.99 million in September 2025, a new all-time high (ATH).

However, beneath the surface, distribution is changing. The share of supply in wallets holding over 1 billion XRP has declined, while mid-sized holders with 1 million to 1 billion XRP have surged.

This signals a structural shift from concentrated whale holdings toward broader retail participation.

XRP’s Expanding Institutional Profile

Notwithstanding, XRP continues to punch above its weight in institutional markets. It now holds the third-largest allocation in Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund, recently approved under the SEC’s generic ETF listing standards.

“Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund $GDLC was just approved for trading along with the Generic Listing Standards. The Grayscale team is working expeditiously to bring the FIRST multi-crypto asset ETP to market with Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano,” wrote Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg.

At the same time, the CME plans to launch futures on XRP, with options debuting on October 13 pending regulatory approval.

📌 TOPINDIATOURS Hot crypto: HBAR Inches Higher, But Looming Golden Crossover Hints

HBAR price has barely moved this week, but that calm may not last much longer. Trading near $0.24, it is up 2% in the past day and 66% over three months.

Behind the muted surface, money flow signals and chart patterns hint that HBAR’s long pause could be ending — and a bigger move may be close.

Big Money Flows In, While Smart Money Stays Cautious

The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), which measures whether buying or selling pressure is stronger, has turned sharply higher. On September 11, CMF was at –0.06. By September 17, it had risen to +0.16.

This shows that whales and big wallets are quietly buying HBAR, betting on a longer-term breakout rather than small rebounds.

The Smart Money Index (SMI) gives a different angle. SMI tracks faster traders who look for short-term rebounds. While it has climbed back near 1.00, it is yet to cross 1.004 — a level that would confirm stronger participation.

This means short-term traders are interested but still cautious, likely waiting for a key pattern breakout move above a key level before committing more.

Adding to the picture, the 4-hour chart flashes a bullish “golden” crossover, where the 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) or the sky blue line is closing in on the 200-period EMA or the deep blue line.

The 100 EMA crossing above the 200 EMA is often read as a strong sign that shorter-term momentum is powerful enough to shift the broader Hedera price trend higher.

The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a trend line that gives more weight to recent prices, making it quicker to react to market changes than a simple moving average.

Cup-and-Handle Breakout Still Holds for the HBAR Price

On the daily chart, HBAR has already broken out of the handle of a cup-and-handle pattern. A breakout from the handle suggests consolidation is ending, which matches the story from CMF and the cautious but growing Smart Money flows.

The neckline, or key level, mentioned earlier, is $0.25. If the HBAR price closes a daily candle above this level, it would confirm the breakout and point to a target near $0.31. That is where both big wallets and fast-moving traders may pile in together, pushing the rally harder.

If this HBAR price move fails, support lies at $0.23 and $0.22. A drop under $0.21 — the base of the cup — would invalidate the bullish setup.

For now, the mix of whale inflows, cautious Smart Money, and a looming golden crossover suggests that the Hedera (HBAR) price rally setup is still alive. Whether it stretches toward $0.31 depends on how it handles the neckline in the days ahead.
