Whales Accumulate BTC, ETH, and XRP as Bear Market Fades

Large holders of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP are aggressively buying during recent price dips. Analysts point out that this steady accumulation by major wallets often happens during the closing phase of a bear market. For Bitcoin, big holders expanded their combined balance significantly this year, with buying picking up fast after prices dropped below $60,000.

Ethereum showed an even stronger trend among its largest addresses, hitting record balances while smaller holders actually reduced their positions. XRP saw a similar shift, with major investors growing their holdings despite widespread fear and liquidations across the broader market.

Prices for all three assets are currently hovering near key realized price levels, which estimate the average acquisition cost for all coins in circulation. This combination of heavy whale buying and prices sitting close to realized values suggests the current cycle is reaching its final stage, though traders should still watch for potential short term downside before a true bottom is confirmed.
