For example, the 1 to 10 coins group includes all addresses holding between 1 and 10 LINK. In the context of the current topic, the range of interest is the one with a lower bound at 100,000 LINK and no upper limit. At the current exchange rate, the cutoff for the range converts to $957,000, which is a significant amount. Thus, the only investors who would qualify for the group will be the big-money entities like the sharks and whales . Such holders can carry some degree of influence on the network so their behavior can be worth keeping an eye on. Below is the chart shared by Santiment that shows how the Supply Distribution has changed for these Chainlink investors over the past few months.

This suggests that the population of big-money investors on the network has grown. More specifically, the Supply Distribution of the LINK whales has increased by 8.2% over the last seven weeks, a notable figure. Interestingly, this inflow of large investors into the network has arrived while the cryptocurrency has followed an overall trend of sideways movement. Currently, there are 805 wallets holding at least 100,000 LINK, which is a new ATH. “Key stakeholders are showing bullishness toward the #16 market cap in crypto,” noted Santiment. It now remains to be seen whether the optimism from the LINK whales will end up reflecting on the cryptocurrency’s price.
