According to ChainCatcher, crypto data analysis agency Santiment released data on the X platform on the "percentage of the total upper limit of some of the most mainstream altcoins currently held by the 10 largest wallets", as follows:
MATIC:69.4%
SHIB:61.2%
UNI:50.8%
BABY:46.1%
ETH:44.0%
USDT:33.1%
LINK:31.1%
TON:27.5%
FROM:24.5%
USDC:19.0%
Santiment said that several factors affect whether an asset is highly concentrated or low in whale wallet addresses. For example, early adopters or project insiders may hold a large amount of funds, resulting in high concentration (such as TON). Or the token can be used for staking or governance, requiring validators to hold a large number of tokens (as is the case with Ethereum and its ETH 2.0 deposit contract, which currently holds 35.4% of the supply). In addition, tokens that are widely distributed through airdrops or community rewards may have a more decentralized distribution (such as Arbitrum).
