Over the past two days, large investors have been actively accumulating Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP. Experts say that the obvious reason for such enthusiasm is the approaching inauguration of Donald Trump, scheduled for January 20. However, crypto whales have other reasons to buy up billions of tokens.
Thus, large investors accumulated about 470 million DOGE just 48 hours after Elon Musk's comment on cryptocurrency prices. He said that Bitcoin and Dogecoin could become significantly cheaper in the next two years. According to the billionaire, this will happen with improving economic conditions in the United States and a stronger dollar. Almost immediately after the comment, the memecoin fell by 20%, which large investors rushed to take advantage of.
The accumulation of XRP turned out to be even more significant - in 48 hours, crypto whales acquired 1 billion tokens. One of the catalysts for the activity was Ripple Labs transferring 300 million XRP, worth about $682 million, to an unknown wallet. 6 replies

Amid the change in the leadership of the Aptos blockchain project, the APT price has fallen by ~25% over the past seven days.
The asset now occupies the 33rd line of the CoinGecko rating, competing in capitalization with Bitget Token and the USDS stablecoin.
The new CEO will be the co-founder and CTO of Aptos, Avery Ching, who, according to former CEO Mo Sheikh, โwill lead the company to the next stage of growth.โ
In a conversation with The Block, a representative of Aptos Labs said that Ching will focus on technological innovations and will try to bring new products to the market as quickly as possible โto support the ecosystem.โ
The Aptos blockchain platform operates on the basis of the AptosBFT consensus algorithm, using parallel execution technologies. Move programming is used to create smart contracts.
The project was founded by former employees of Diem (formerly Libra), a division of Meta Corporation, which was closed in early 2022. 3 replies
