In the fast-paced world of meme tokens on the Base chain, keeping an eye on where the big players—often called "whales"—are putting their money can give you a real edge. A recent tweet from crypto enthusiast Graeme (@gkisokay) highlights just that, showing persistent smart money inflows even during choppy market conditions.
Smart money refers to investments from experienced, large-wallet holders who often spot opportunities before the crowd. Graeme's update, posted on November 19, 2025, builds on his previous day's analysis, revealing that whales are doubling down on certain tokens.
At the top of the list is $AERO, the token associated with Aerodrome Finance, a decentralized exchange on Base. It pulled in a whopping $394K from just three whales, up from $330K the day before. This kind of consistent accumulation suggests strong belief in AERO's potential, especially as Base continues to grow as a layer-2 solution for Ethereum.
But what's really catching eyes is the heavy representation from the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem. Virtuals is a platform building a society of AI agents that can create services, products, and even handle on-chain transactions autonomously. Many of the top tokens in the inflows are tied to this innovative space:
- $EDEL: +$29.2K(8ホエールから)— VirtualsのラインナップにあるAIエージェントトークンで、分散型AIアプリケーションに注力しています。
- $FACY: +$28.1K(7ホエールから)— こちらもVirtualsの有望銘柄で、AI駆動のコンテンツやインタラクションに向けられている可能性が高いです。
- $WIRE: +$22.8K(5ホエールから)— エコシステムの一部で、AIネットワークにおける接続性やデータフローを重視していると思われます。
- $MACHINES: +$15.4K(3ホエールから)— 自律的なマシンを想起させる名称で、VirtualsのAIエージェントという物語と結びつきます。
- $TOSHI: +$13K(1ホエールから)— Baseで人気のミームトークンで、しばしば猫のキャラクターで描かれ、コミュニティ主導の雰囲気と遊び心を融合しています。
- $MUTE: +$4.7K(2ホエールから)— ミュートスワッププロトコルに関連すると見られ、プライバシー重視の取引向けかもしれません。
- $ASYNC: +$4.1K(1ホエールから)— 非同期処理を示唆する名称で、AIとブロックチェーンの統合に適した性質を持っています。
- $WBLT: +$3.4K(1ホエールから)— あまり知られていない銘柄ですが、今回の流入で注目を集めています。
- $VPAY: +$3.2K(1ホエールから)— Virtuals内での決済トークンであり、AI社会内での取引を円滑にする役割を果たします。
Overall, these top 10 tokens saw a total of $517.9K in smart money inflows over the last 24 hours. Compared to the previous day's $596.4K across a slightly different set, it's clear that conviction is building, particularly around Virtuals-related projects.
This trend underscores a shift in the meme token landscape. While traditional memes rely on hype and virality, ecosystems like Virtuals are infusing AI utility, making them more than just jokes—they're potential building blocks for the future of decentralized AI. If you're a blockchain practitioner looking to stay ahead, watching these whale moves could signal the next big wave.
