A crypto analytics firm says large investors are boosting their stakes in Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP, hinting that the prolonged market downturn could soon be over.<\/p>\n

CryptoQuant\u2019s new report<\/a>, \u201cBuying the Bear: A Signal of the Bear Market\u2019s Final Stage\u201d examines the recent accumulation by the largest wallets.<\/p>\n

The firm says whales have stepped up positions across the key crypto assets, displaying buying activity that often marks the final phase of a bear market.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmart money is positioning across the majors. <\/em><\/p>\n

Bitcoin whales are accumulating. Bitcoin whale holdings (excluding exchanges and mining pools) have risen through 2026 to roughly 3.06M BTC, with whales adding aggressively as price dipped below $60K in June \u2014 though still below the 2025 bull-cycle peak near 3.23M. <\/em><\/p>\n

XRP whales are quietly positioning. Spot order sizes remain in \u201cbig whale\u201d territory while price holds the $1.0\u2013$1.2 range, yet 90-day taker CVD sits in a neutral phase \u2014 accumulation by absorption rather than aggressive market buying. <\/em><\/p>\n

Large ETH holders are accumulating the bear market. The 10k\u2013100k balance cohort has climbed to record highs near 19.6M ETH and the 100k+ balance mega-whales have added roughly 1.8M ETH since mid-2025 (about +70%), even as the smaller 1k\u201310k cohort keeps distributing \u2014 down ~2.7M ETH since January. Valuations are approaching the undervalued zone across the board. Bitcoin (~$64K) and XRP (~$1.1) trade near their realized prices ($52.9K and ~$0.75), while ETH (~$1,900) trades below its realized price of ~$2,450, near the lower band \u2014 historically late-bear-market zones.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Although the firm believes the risk-reward in crypto markets has improved markedly, CryptoQuant warns further downside is always possible before a confirmed floor is reached.<\/p>\n
