Ethereum wallets with 10,000-100,000 ETH reached a record 19.6 million ETH holdings amid signs of a potential market bottom.
Ethereum wallets holding 10,000 to 100,000 ETH collectively reached a record 19.6 million ETH, while wallets with over 100,000 ETH added 1.8 million ETH since mid-2025. The accumulation occurs as Bitcoin and Ether trade near key realized price levels, often seen as support zones in past cycles.
Bitcoin’s price of $63,935 remains above its realized price of $52,900, while Ether at $1,858 trades below its realized price of $2,450. XRP, trading at $1.10, is also above its realized price of $0.75. Analysts noted passive absorption in spot markets, with neutral 90-day taker volume delta signaling cautious accumulation rather than aggressive buying.
The pattern of rising whale balances during price weakness has historically preceded market bottoms, though analysts caution downside risks remain. Other research firms, including 10x Research and K33, have also identified potential bottoming signals for Bitcoin in recent reports.
