Whale funds are pouring in! Analyst: This autumn, LINK and VET may outperform XRP by over 1,000%.

As Ripple (XRP) hovers around $3.19 in a sideways consolidation, market funds are quietly shifting towards other potentially greater encryption assets. The latest on-chain data shows that Chainlink (LINK) and VeChain (VET) are receiving whale-level capital inflows, and analysts expect that the gains for these two tokens this fall may surpass XRP, with the potential to even break 1,000%.

XRP price facing resistance, lacking new catalysts

XRP has recently attempted multiple times to break through $3.30 without success. Although market sentiment remains positive after the SEC lawsuit has been settled, there is a lack of new adoption momentum.

Current price: 3.19 USD

Major resistance: 3.30 USD

Capital flow: Whale inflows have slowed down, with more funds shifting towards other high-growth potential projects.

Analysts point out that without significant collaborations or practical applications, XRP may be surpassed in the short term by projects with stronger growth momentum.

Chainlink (LINK): Whale accumulation + Global banking breakthrough

The price of LINK has risen double digits this week, currently reported at around $21.84. Data from whale tracking platforms show that wallets holding 100,000 to 1 million LINK have increased their holdings by over $150 million in tokens over the past two weeks, while exchange reserves have simultaneously decreased, indicating that funds are shifting towards long-term holding.

Institutional Adoption: Chainlink collaborates with SWIFT to connect over 11,000 banks to public and private blockchains.

Financial network integration: covering DTCC, Mastercard, central banks, and top asset management companies.

Technical Advantages: The Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) has completed tokenized asset transfer tests with Bank of New York Mellon and BNP Paribas.

Analysts believe that LINK's current market capitalization of 14 billion USD still has room for appreciation compared to XRP's 188 billion USD, especially in the context of the global banking integration, where LINK is expected to surpass XRP in practical application.

VeChain (VET): Developer Growth and Enterprise Adoption

The current price of VET is approximately 0.0248 USD, with a monthly pump of about 6%. Although the pump is not as impressive as LINK, its ecosystem activity is noteworthy:

Developer Growth: This year ranked in the top three for development activity across all blockchains.

Application scenarios: Focus on sustainable development and supply chain tracking, attracting multiple companies to integrate their solutions.

Investors are paying attention: funds and long-term investors are optimistic about its advantages in practicality and long-term adoption.

If companies adopt continuous acceleration, the valuation of VET is expected to surge explosively before the end of the year.

Competition in the Financial Sector between LINK and XRP

Although the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has long been positioned for cross-border payments and banking, the collaboration between Chainlink and SWIFT is rapidly expanding its role in global financial infrastructure.

XRP advantages: a mature payment network with a regulatory compliance foundation.

LINK Advantages: Multi-chain data transmission capability and cross-chain asset transfer technology, covering a wider range of financial application scenarios.

Some analysts believe that the diversity of practical applications and the speed of institutional adoption of LINK have posed a challenge to XRP.

Autumn Outlook This Year

As whale funds continue to flow into LINK and VET, market sentiment is shifting from defensive assets to high-growth potential tokens.

LINK driving factors: global banking integration, accelerated institutional adoption, tightening supply.

VET driving factors: enterprise-level application landing, developer community expansion.

XRP Risk: Lack of short-term catalysts, weakened capital inflow.

Analysts predict that if the current trend continues, the pump of LINK and VET this autumn may exceed XRP, and they even have the potential to break through 1,000%.

Conclusion

As the cryptocurrency market enters a new bull cycle, funds are quickly seeking projects with technological advantages and real-world application potential. Chainlink and VeChain, with the support of whale accumulation, institutional adoption, and ecosystem growth, are becoming the market focus. Although XRP still possesses stability, it may be surpassed by these two major competitors this autumn if it lacks new catalysts.
