  • An analyst shared that he believes a whale used massive amounts of USDT to stock up on gaming tokens.
  • PYR, MANA, SAND, ILV, and RNDR all saw their prices increase in the past 24 hours.
  • ILV attracted the most attention as its price surged by over 14% since yesterday.

The well-known cryptocurrency analyst and trader, Crypto Tony, shared in an X post yesterday that he believes a whale is stocking up on gaming tokens. According to the post, a whale transferred 1,347,167,859 USDT from an unknown wallet to Bianace.

This might, in fact, be the case as gaming tokens like Vulcan Forged PYR (PYR), Decentraland (MANA), The Sandbox (SAND), Illluvium (ILV), and Render (RNDR) all saw their prices increase over the past 24 hours of trading. At press time, PYR was trading at $4.00 after its price rose by 0.84%, according to CoinMarketCap.

Its market cap of $756,048,198 ranked SAND as the 57th largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization. This placed it right behind MANA with its market cap of $763,857,958.

On the other hand, ILV turned many heads after its price surged by over 14% in just 24 hours. This meant that the token’s trading value rose to $58.48. Along with its price success, ILV’s 24 hour trading volume also jumped by 231% since yesterday.
