Long-term Bitcoin holders have pumped the brakes on selling their fat stacks for the first time in six months, while Ether whales have ramped up accumulation of the digital asset.<\/p>\n

Wallets holding Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) for at least 155 days trimmed their positions from 14.8 million<\/a> coins in mid-July to 14.3 million in December. However, crypto investor and entrepreneur Ted Pillows noted<\/a> in an X post on Monday the selloff has tapered off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Generally, large holders and whales are considered market movers<\/a>, and their trades can influence market behavior, liquidity, and investor psychology.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Ether whales have been increasing<\/a> their holdings over the last week. Citing CryptoQuant data, analysts at crypto investor newsletter Milk Road said<\/a> large holders have added around 120,000 Ether (ETH<\/a>) since Dec.26.<\/p>\n

\u201cAddresses holding 1,000+ ETH now control roughly 70% of supply, a share that has been rising since late 2024. If this behavior continues, the market may not fully be pricing in where the smart money expects Ethereum to go next,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n
