Bitcoin-Großinvestoren erhöhen ihre Käufe: Die gehaltenen Bestände erreichen einen Zweimonats-Höchststand

[lklol]

Bitcoin has approached $75,000 as on-chain data shows the whale-sized investors have pushed their supply to the highest point since mid-February.

Bitcoin Whale Holdings Have Crossed 4.25 Million BTC

In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Santiment has talked about the latest trend in the Bitcoin whale supply. “Whales” typically refer to investors holding between 1,000 and 10,000 tokens of the cryptocurrency.

At the current exchange rate, this range converts to $74.5 million at the lower end and $745 million at the upper end. Thus, the only holders who would qualify for the cohort would be those with a substantial amount of capital invested in the asset.

Given their massive size, whale entities can hold some degree of influence in the market. As such, their behavior can often be worth keeping an eye on. Below is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the data for the combined supply held by investors of this size, which can act as a proxy for their behavior.

From the graph, it’s visible that the Bitcoin whale supply witnessed a decline earlier, indicating large investors were participating in distribution. Since bottoming out in mid-March, however, the metric has seen an upward reversal.

The uptrend accelerated during this weekend, with whale-sized wallets scooping up 27,652 BTC (worth more than $2 billion) on Sunday alone. The fresh accumulation has meant that the whale supply has returned to 4.25 million BTC, which is the highest value of the metric since mid-February.

A Bitcoin rally back toward the $75,000 level has followed the whale expansion, so it’s possible that buying from these humongous investors helped provide fuel for the surge.

Whale behavior could now be monitored as what this group will do next could further impact the cryptocurrency’s price. The recent trend has been one of accumulation, but it often doesn’t take much for the whales to flip. Back in February, these investors participated in significant buying initially, but then they quickly reversed course, taking their supply to a lower point than what they started buying at.

Bitcoin isn’t the only digital asset that has seen bullish action from the whale entities recently. As the analytics firm has highlighted in another X post, the Ethereum network has observed a rise in wallets holding at least 100,000 ETH (about $238.4 million).

As displayed in the above chart, the large Ethereum holders have seen their population jump from 54 to 57 over the past week, indicating an influx of fresh big-money capital. “You can expect a level of correlation with price when this number grows, and there is strong justification that the #2 market cap can continue its rise,” explained Santiment.
