Crypto whales are intensifying their accumulation as the bear market potentially approaches its final phase. Ethereum wallets holding between 10,000 and 100,000 ETH reached a record 19.6 million ETH, while those holding more than 100,000 ETH added approximately 1.8 million ETH since mid-2025. In XRP markets, average spot order sizes remained in the whale category while the token traded between $1 and $1.20. Bitcoin’s realized price stands at $52,900 versus a current price of $63,935, Ether’s at $2,450 versus $1,858, and XRP’s at $0.75 versus approximately $1.10. According to CryptoQuant, rising whale balances into price weakness is the clearest smart-money signal, a pattern that has historically preceded market bottoms.
