Large-volume token movements in Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) and Fantom (FTM) have raised attention across on-chain analytics platforms. One whale wallet made multimillion-dollar Fartcoin transactions, while a separate address carried out structured USD Coin (USDC) swaps into Fantom, indicating targeted positioning in both ecosystems.

According to data from Lookonchain, a whale spent $9.97 million to repurchase 11.21 million FARTCOIN tokens at an average price of $0.89 per token. The accumulation occurred approximately eight hours before the data snapshot, following a previous profitable cycle.

Earlier, the same wallet bought 13.39 million FARTCOIN at $0.61 per token for a total of $8.15 million. The wallet then exited the position at an average sale price of $0.86, making an estimated $3.33 million in profit. The new buy-in at a higher price point reflects continued interest in the asset, though no further transactions have been confirmed since.

Fartcoin Price Falls Amid Volume Decline

Despite renewed accumulation by a major holder, Fartcoin recorded a 3.46% price decline in the last 24 hours. The token dropped from a high of $0.9019 to $0.8715. The market cap remains steady at $871.53 million, aligned with the token’s fully diluted valuation due to nearly full circulation, 999.99 million of the total 1 billion tokens.

The trading activity during the 24-hour period reached a total of $291.62 million and diminished by 35.90%. Trading liquidity levels decline as indicated by a 33.82% volume-to-market-cap ratio. During this period the token’s price fell to $0.80 then rebounded only slightly. The token’s profile score stands at 40% indicating it shows average levels of both trading participation and engagement.

USDC-to-FTM Swaps Point to Strategic Exposure

On-chain data from a DeFi dashboard shows a separate wallet with an address starting “2QoJD…” executing at least 11 structured swaps from USDC to Fantom. Each swap involved 249,750 USDC, with two exceptions: both at 233,814.09 USDC exchanged for approximately 273,000 FTM.

All swaps occurred through the Fantom network while an apparent aggregator-based execution method seemed to be used. API source signals indicate both automated execution and institutional infrastructure rather than manual human handling. The optimization of liquidity pool execution requires standardization of transaction sizes and aggregation services.

The swaps secured total investment of $2.7 million capital that indicates strategic role in the Fantom ecosystem. Operational activity revolving around asset accumulation signifies the accumulation methodology which precedes typical DeFi conduct and protocol enhancement initiatives.
