Whale Transfers Billions of USDT, Gaming Token Prices Rise

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.
