Santiment data shows 86 large transactions on LIT token in days, a six-month high. Mantle's TVL surpasses $1B with stablecoin supply up 120% YoY.
Santiment detected 86 transactions exceeding $100,000 on Lighter's LIT token over the past several days. The on-chain data provider said that volume of whale-sized activity has not been seen in six months for the altcoin.
The Mantle network, meanwhile, consolidated a total value locked above $1 billion across its decentralized infrastructure. The stablecoin supply inside Mantle's internal economy expanded 120% year-over-year, the data show.
LIT trades on a thin order book relative to larger caps. A cluster of large transactions in a short window can shift price action more than it would on a deeper book. The cluster could reflect accumulation ahead of a catalyst, though no specific event has been announced by Lighter.
Mantle's TVL milestone places it among the larger Ethereum layer-2 networks by capital committed to its protocols. The 120% stablecoin supply growth suggests users are parking capital inside the ecosystem rather than bridging it out, a signal of ongoing DeFi activity. The network's native token, MNT, has tracked broader crypto moves this month without a breakout.
Both tokens sit in a category where whale behavior tends to precede volatility. LIT's transaction cluster and Mantle's TVL growth are separate stories. Some traders see both as signals that capital is rotating into mid-cap altcoins after weeks of Bitcoin dominance. The data from Santiment provides a snapshot of where that capital might be flowing.
For LIT, the next few days will test whether the whale activity was accumulation or distribution. If the cluster was a buyer, the thin liquidity could amplify any upward move. If it was a seller, the same thin book works in the opposite direction. The token's price action relative to the broader market will offer clues.
For Mantle, the TVL and stablecoin figures point to a network that is attracting capital, not losing it. The 120% stablecoin supply growth means more dollars are sitting inside Mantle's protocols, ready to deploy into lending, trading, or yield. That is a foundation for activity, not a guarantee of price appreciation in MNT.
Neither token has announced a major catalyst. The moves are purely on-chain signals. That makes them harder to trade but also means the market has not yet priced in whatever the whales might be seeing.
