Large Holders Accumulate Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP Despite Price Pressure: CryptoQuant
CryptoQuant data shows large holders are adding Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP as prices remain under pressure, suggesting the bear market may be in its final stage but with further downside possible.
Large cryptocurrency holders have been accumulating Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP, according to data from CryptoQuant. Balances of large Bitcoin holders (excluding exchanges and mining pools) rose to around 3.06 million BTC after falling to a low near 2.87 million in December 2025.
Analysts interpret this pattern as a sign that the bear market is likely nearing its end, though they warn that prices could still drop further before a clear bottom is confirmed.
"This is what capital accumulation looks like in a bear market: strong holders are absorbing weak ones," analysts added.
