Large crypto investors accumulate Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP
CryptoQuant reports that whale wallets are building positions across major cryptocurrencies, suggesting the prolonged bear market may be entering its final phase.
According to CryptoQuant's analysis, the largest holders across Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP have stepped up their accumulation activity in recent months — a pattern the firm associates with late-stage bear markets.
Bitcoin whale holdings (excluding exchanges and mining pools) have risen to approximately 3.06 million BTC, with major investors adding aggressively when prices dipped below $60,000 in June. However, current whale holdings remain below the 2025 bull-cycle peak of 3.23 million BTC. For Ethereum, the 10,000–100,000 balance cohort has reached record highs near 19.6 million ETH, while mega-whales holding over 100,000 ETH have added roughly 1.8 million coins since mid-2025, a gain of about 70 percent. Meanwhile, smaller holders in the 1,000–10,000 range have been reducing their positions, down approximately 2.7 million ETH since January. XRP whale activity remains more measured, with large orders maintaining presence while the asset trades between $1.0 and $1.2.
CryptoQuant notes that valuations across major assets are approaching historically undervalued zones. Bitcoin trades near its realized price of $52,900, while Ethereum at roughly $1,900 sits below its realized price of $2,450 — levels the firm identifies as typical of late bear-market periods. The analytics firm acknowledges that although risk-reward dynamics have improved, further downside remains possible before a confirmed market floor emerges.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
