Ethereum whales are also going after Loopring (LRC) with an average purchase amount of $7,865 to take the seventh spot. Loopring is an Ethereum token that aims to allow anyone to build non-custodial, order book-based exchanges on the Ethereum network using zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs.

Render Token (RNDR) comes in at number eight with an average purchase amount of $7,197. RNDR aims to allow anyone with a modern GPU to contribute their rendering power in exchange for tokens, in turn increasing the scale and availability of GPU compute for artists, designers and researchers.

Other coins on the list include Ethereum itself and a number of stablecoins.
