Not too long ago, we were reporting that whales are accumulating Bitcoin and Ethereum but now, more news is in.
Whales are accumulating three altcoins
It’s been just revealed that whales are accumulating Aave (LEND), Ren (REN) and 0x (ZRX), according to crypto analytics firm Santiment.

ZRX is an open protocol designed to streamline peer-to-peer transactions on the Ethereum blockchain.”
