According to The Block, Julio Moreno, Research Director at CryptoQuant, said that large cryptocurrency holders are increasing their positions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, suggesting the bear market may be entering its final stage—though the bottom has not yet been confirmed, and prices could still decline. Julio Moreno noted that large holders are accumulating when prices approach or fall below the realized price. Bitcoin whale balances have risen from 2.87 million BTC in December 2025 to approximately 3.06 million BTC, below the 2025 bull market peak of 3.23 million BTC. Addresses holding between 10,000 and 100,000 ETH have increased their holdings to a record 19.6 million ETH, while the group holding 1,000 to 10,000 ETH decreased from 15.6 million to 12.9 million ETH.
