Bitcoin has made a recovery back towards the $61,000 level during the past day. Here are the factors that could be behind this surge. Bitcoin Has Made Some Recovery During The Last 24 Hours After showing lackluster price action under $60,000 during the past few days, Bitcoin has finally shown some momentum in the last 24 hours, with its price surging by more than 4%. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holders Now Doing Loss-Taking: Sign That A Turnaround Is Near? The chart below shows how the cryptocurrency’s recent trajectory has looked like. At the peak of this rally, BTC had broken above $61,400, but the asset has since seen a pullback. Nonetheless, even after the drawdown, BTC is still trading around $60,800, which is a notable improvement over yesterday. As for what could be behind this surge, perhaps on-chain data can provide some hints. BTC Has Seen Multiple Positive On-Chain Developments Recently There are a couple of developments that have occurred in the cryptocurrency space recently that could be positive for Bitcoin. First, according to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, BTC investors carrying between 100 and 1,000 BTC have made a considerable buying push during the last six weeks. At the time Santiment had shared the chart (which was yesterday), the Bitcoin investors with 100 to 1,000 BTC had held a combined 3.97 million tokens. Out of this, 94,700 coins were bought by them within the past six weeks. The cohort with wallets in this range is popularly known as the “sharks.” Along with the whales, the sharks are considered the key investors in the market, due to the considerable scale of coins that they hold. Thus, the fact that these large investors were accumulating while BTC had been struggling earlier shows that big money was confident that the cryptocurrency would turn itself around. The other positive development has been the uptrend that the supply of Tether (USDT) has been showing recently, as analyst Ali Martinez has pointed out in an X post. Investors generally use stablecoins like Tether whenever they want to escape the volatility associated with assets like Bitcoin. Such investors who store their capital like this, however, eventually plan to venture back into the volatile coins, so the supply of the stablecoins may act as a store of dry powder available for deploying into BTC and others. Related Reading: Bitcoin Still In A Bull Market, Quant SaysHeres Why Naturally, when investors do swap their stables for these assets, their prices observe a bullish boost. With Tether’s supply having seen a sharp jump recently, the investors’ potential purchasing power could be considered to have gone up. This could have happened through two processes: a rotation of capital from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and fresh capital inflows. The former would imply investors have sold their volatile coins for now, but as mentioned before, these investors may buy back into the market in the future. The latter would be entirely bullish, as it would mean there is fresh interest entering into the space. In reality, both of these likely occurred to some degree and as Bitcoin has managed to find a rebound, it’s possible new capital inflows have made up for more of the increase.

On-chain data shows the total number of sharks and whales on the XRP network has seen a sharp increase recently, a sign that could be bullish for the asset’s price. XRP Sharks & Whales Have Witnessed Their Count Go Up Recently According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the shark and whale wallets have registered a notable jump over the past five weeks. The indicator of relevance here is the “Supply Distribution,” which tells us about the number of addresses that currently belong to a given wallet group. Related Reading: Dogecoin & Other Memecoins Seeing Less Interest Than Bitcoin: Data The addresses are put into these cohorts based on the number of coins that they are carrying in their balance right now. Investors who own between 1 and 10 XRP, for example, fall inside the 1 to 10 coins group. In the context of the current discussion, the 10,000+ coins group is of interest. The cutoff for this cohort converts to around $6,500 at the current exchange rate. This amount in itself isn’t high, but the upper range of the group stretches to infinity, so it should also include heavyweight investors like sharks and whales. The sharks and whales are considered key investors in the market, so their behavior can be to keep an eye on, as it may end up affecting the cryptocurrency’s price. Naturally, the whales are the more influential of the two, due to their larger size. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the XRP Supply Distribution for the 10,000+ coins cohort over the past few months: As displayed in the above graph, the XRP Supply Distribution for this wallet group has observed a rapid increase recently. More specifically, around 2,390 addresses of this size have popped up on the network in just the past five weeks. This would suggest that entities like the sharks and whales have been busy accumulating the cryptocurrency. Following the latest increase, the indicator’s value has reached the 279,400 mark, which is the highest that it has been in about six months. From the chart, it’s visible that the indicator’s value had been observing a downtrend earlier in the year, alongside which, the asset’s price had also been riding bearish momentum. The indicator reached a bottom in April, which is around when the asset’s drawdown also slowed down. And since the recent uptrend in the Supply Distribution of the sharks and whales has appeared, the XRP price has also felt the return of bullish winds. “The correlation between these wallets and XRP’s market value has been undeniable throughout 2024,” notes Santiment. Related Reading: Minimal Bitcoin On-Chain Resistance Ahead: Price Set For New ATH? Given the pattern, this indicator should be monitored in the near future, as a continued rise in it could spell a bullish outcome for the cryptocurrency. XRP Price XRP has enjoyed a rally of around 5% during the past 24 hours, which has taken its price to the $0.65 level. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com
On-chain data shows the Ethereum whales have sold the asset recently, while key holders on the Bitcoin network have accumulated instead. Ethereum Whales Have Sold Into The Latest Rally As explained by analyst Ali Martinez in a new post on X, the Ethereum whales have participated in selling recently. The “whales” here refer to the ETH entities holding between 1,000 and 10,000 ETH. At the current exchange rate, this range converts to $1.8 million to $18 million. While these bounds don’t cover the largest of holders in the sector, they do still contain some of the key investors. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holders Realizing $139 Million In Profit Per Hour This Rally, Report Says Here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the trend in the combined balance of these Ethereum whales over the over the past ten days or so: As displayed in the above graph, the Ethereum whales have seen their supply go through a net decline recently. During this selloff, these investors offloaded more than 63,000 ETH (about $113.5 million) inside a 48-hour window. From the chart, it’s visible that the distribution from this cohort has coincided with ETH’s recovery rally. This could indicate that these large investors have been capitalizing on the profit-taking opportunity. While the key investors of ETH may have taken profits, the same isn’t true for that of BTC. As the on-chain analytics firm Santiment has discussed in an X post, the trend has been that of accumulation for BTC recently. In the chart, the analytics firm has attached the data related to the supply of the Bitcoin holders carrying between 10 ($946,000) and 10,000 BTC ($946 million). This range is broader than the one for ETH and includes two key investor cohorts: sharks and whales. These investors have collectively added a total of 19,255 BTC to their wallets alongside the price rally. Thus, it would appear that the key holders of the cryptocurrency are supportive of the recovery run. Related Reading: Litecoin Conviction Remains Strong: More Than 20% Of Supply Frozen Since 5+ Years Naturally, this could imply the Bitcoin rally may have more chances of being sustainable than the Ethereum one. That said, things can change quickly in the digital asset sector, so the trend related to the large entities of both might be worth keeping an eye on. Speaking of accumulation, BTC is currently witnessing high inflows into the spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as Santiment has pointed out in another X post. From the chart, it’s visible that the recent ETF inflows are the largest in months. As the analytics firm notes, As Bitcoin has recovered as high as $95.8K today, we are seeing the highest week of net inflows to BTC ETF’s since the week before Trump’s inauguration in mid-January. Institutions like Blackrock have played a large part in the crypto-wide bounce traders were waiting for. ETH Price At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading around $1,800, up more than 12% in the last week. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com
On-chain data shows a pattern in the stablecoin shark and whale holdings that may suggest the Bitcoin rally could make a return in the near future. Stablecoin Sharks & Whales Have Been Accumulating Recently According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the sharks and whales of the major stablecoins have been increasing their reserves while Bitcoin has been struggling recently. The “sharks” and “whales” are two of the largest cohorts in the sector, with investors belonging to the former holding at least $100,000 and at most $1 million worth of the asset, while the latter has wallet balances in the $1 million to $10 million range. Due to such large holdings, these investors can potentially move around a large number of coins at once, something that can make them influential entities in the market. In the context of the current discussion, the sharks and whales of stablecoins are of interest. In particular, the four largest players in the market are of relevance here: Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Binance USD (BUSD), and Dai (DAI). Santiment has used its “Supply Distribution” metric to track the holdings of these humongous holders and this indicator tells us about the percentage of the supply that each group in the market is holding right now. Here is a chart that shows the trend in this metric specifically for the sharks and whales of the top 4 stablecoins in the sector: The metrics appear to have been going up in recent days | Source: Santiment on Twitter As displayed in the above graph, the holdings of these stablecoin sharks and whales have been on the rise recently. Interestingly, while this trend has formed, the price of Bitcoin has dipped below the $30,000 level. A similar pattern in the supply held by these large investors had also formed last month, as these investors had been buying more stablecoins, while BTC had been on a decline. What followed this period of accumulation back then was a sharp Bitcoin rally that had taken the cryptocurrency’s price above the $30,000 level. An explanation of this curious trend may lie in what the holdings of these large stablecoin holders signify. Generally, these investors opt for stables whenever they want to exit volatile assets such as BTC. Related Reading: Stanford MBA Explains Why Next Bitcoin Cycle Could Be “Bigger” Such holders, however, usually only seek to temporarily take shelter in these dollar-tied tokens, because if they wanted to stay away from the sector for extended periods, they would have exited through other means like fiat. Thus, these investors would eventually shift their stablecoins into Bitcoin and others again, and with this exchange, provide a bullish boost to their prices. This is why the supply of these sharks and whales may be looked at as the available buying pressure that these humongous investors can put on the asset at any point they want. From the chart, it’s visible that the BTC rally above $30,000 didn’t actually kick off from new money being pumped back into the asset by the sharks and whales, but rather the conversions that they made back into the asset, as their holdings decreased while the rally happened.

As the large investors of the major stables have again been accumulating recently, it’s possible that Bitcoin could see a bullish effect from this down the road once more, although it’s uncertain how long it may be before these investors deploy their stablecoins back into the market.

On-chain data shows the Dogecoin shark and whale wallets have been increasing in number recently, a sign that could be bullish for DOGE’s price. Dogecoin Sharks & Whales Have Been Expanding Despite Price Decline According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, Dogecoin has recently seen a rise in a couple of important indicators. The first metric of relevance here is the “Supply Distribution” of the DOGE wallets carrying more than 1 million tokens. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miner Selling Still Elevated, On-Chain Data Shows The Supply Distribution tells us, among other things, the number of addresses that belong to a particular coin range. The indicator for the 1 to 10 coins group, for instance, measures the amount of holders who own at least 1 and at most 10 DOGE in their balance. The 1 million+ DOGE cohort, which is the range of focus here, includes two key investor groups: sharks and whales. At the current exchange rate, the cutoff for the range converts to around $166,600. This is clearly quite a significant amount, which is why the entities belonging to the sharks and whales are considered important on the network. Now, here is the chart that shows the trend in the Dogecoin Supply Distribution for the 1 million+ coins range over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the Dogecoin Supply Distribution of the sharks and whales observed a plunge when the bearish action in the memecoin’s price first started in January. Since the start of February, however, the indicator has reversed its direction and has been following an upward trajectory. Interestingly, this wallet increase has come despite the fact that the asset’s decline has only furthered during the period. The trend would imply that, although the big-money investors panic sold when the drawdown first began, they have since shifted their attention to accumulating the dip instead. In total, the shark and whale wallets have gone up by 62 (around 1.24%) since the beginning of February and are now not far from the peak witnessed back in January. The increase in the large wallets isn’t the only positive sign Dogecoin has seen; there has also been bullish development in another indicator attached in the chart. The metric in question is the Active Addresses, which keeps track of the total number of DOGE addresses taking part in some kind of transaction activity on the blockchain every day. Related Reading: Bitcoin Resets With 14% DeleveragingHeres What Past Events Led To From the graph, it’s visible that the Dogecoin Active Addresses has jumped to a 4-month high recently, suggesting a large amount of users have been making transfers on the network. While the increase in the shark and whale wallets has been occurring for a while now, the signal in the Active Addresses is a more recent one. It would appear that the current low prices may have finally caught the attention of the masses, who are now coming active to make their moves. DOGE Price At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading around $0.166, up around 4% in the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com

On-chain data from Santiment shows the Ethereum shark and whale addresses have registered a growth of 5.7% over the past year. Ethereum Sharks & Whales Numbers Have Gone Up During The Past Year According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, there are now around 380 more sharks and whales in the market compared to 12 months ago. The relevant indicator here is the “ETH Supply Distribution,” which tells us about the total amount of Ethereum that each wallet group in the sector is currently holding. Addresses are divided into these “wallet groups” based on the number of coins that they are carrying in their balances right now. The 10-100 coins cohort, for instance, includes all wallets that are holding between 10 and 100 ETH at the moment. The Supply Distribution metric for this specific group would measure the sum of the individual balances of all addresses on the network that are satisfying this condition. Related Reading: Bitcoin Accumulation: HODLers Are Buying 15,000 BTC Per Month In the context of the current discussion, the investors of interest are those holding at least 1,000 ETH, meaning that the relevant range here would be 1,000 to infinite coins. Here is a chart that shows the trend in the Ethereum Supply Distribution for such investors over the last couple of years: The value of the metric seems to have been going up in recent days | Source: Santiment on Twitter This wallet range of at least 1,000 ETH (worth about $1.9 million at the current exchange rate) includes two very important cohorts for Ethereum: the sharks and whales. These investors can be quite influential in the market as they hold such large amounts in their wallets (with the whales naturally being more powerful than the sharks since they are the larger of the two. Because of this reason, their behavior may provide hints about where the market may be headed in the long term. As displayed in the above graph, the Supply Distribution for the 1,000+ ETH range had a value of 6,712 a year ago. Since then, the indicator has enjoyed an overall uptrend and its value has risen to 7,092 today. This implies that 380 new addresses belonging to sharks and whales have come up on the network during the last year, representing an increase of about 5.7%. Ethereum saw a decline during most of the past year as the bear market tightly gripped the cryptocurrency. Overall, the asset is still down 35% in this period, meaning that these humongous holders have been buying while the value of the asset has been relatively low. Related Reading: Bitcoin Flash Crash Triggered By Bogus Data? Here’s What Happened From the chart, it’s visible that the most significant buying spree in this period came just following the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX. This suggests that the sharks and whales saw the lows following this crash as a profitable buying opportunity. And indeed, their accumulation there looks to have paid off so far, as those lows now appear to be the lowest point for this bear market. These holders have also continued to buy a net amount in the current rally so far, meaning that they are supportive of the price surge. Naturally, this can be a positive sign for bullish momentum in the long term. ETH Price At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading around $1,900, down 1% in the last week.

On-chain data shows the number of Bitcoin sharks has continued to increase recently, but the whale count on the network has hit stagnation. Bitcoin Sharks Have Continued To Go Up In Number Recently According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the number of whales on the Bitcoin blockchain has observed a slight decline during the last couple of months. The relevant indicator here is the “Supply Distribution,” which measures the total number of addresses that belong to each of the wallet groups on the network. The addresses are divided into these “wallet groups” on the basis of the total amount of BTC that they are carrying in their balances right now. In the context of the current discussion, there are four such cohorts that are of interest: 0-0.01 coins, 0.01-1 coins, 1-100 coins, and 100+ coins. Naturally, an address belonging to any of these groups would have its balance inside the range of the group in question. So if the Supply Distribution is applied to these cohorts, it would tell us (among other things) the total number of addresses on the chain that satisfy the respective conditions. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Supply Distribution for each of these four cohorts since the start of the year: Looks like only one of these metrics has continued to constantly grow in recent days | Source: Santiment on Twitter The first of these groups, the 0-0.01 coins range, signifies the small retail holders of the market. From the above graph, it’s visible that these investors haven’t changed in number much lately as their Supply Distribution curve has been moving sideways over the past seven weeks. This would suggest that adoption among small investors isn’t rising for the cryptocurrency at the moment. Related Reading: Bitcoin Will Reach $175,000 If Prices Break Above This Rising Channel, Trader Claims The second group of relevance (0.01-1 BTC) has also been moving flat recently, showing that retail investors as a whole have hit a state of stagnation on the network. Unlike these cohorts, though, the indicator’s value for the 1-100 coins group, which is sometimes popularly referred to as the “sharks,” has only continued to climb higher in the past few months. This would imply that these decently-sized holders are still interested in buying the cryptocurrency, which could be a positive sign for the asset’s rally. While the sharks may hold some influence in the market due to the size of their holdings, they don’t hold nearly as much power as the largest cohort in the market: the whales. These humongous investors with 100+ BTC can move around a large amount of coins on the network, and thus, can cause noticeable ripples in the market. Due to this reason, these holders’ behavior may be considered the most important to watch. As displayed in the graph, the number of whales on the network has observed a decline during the last couple of months, although the degree of the downtrend hasn’t been too much. Nonetheless, one fact remains: they haven’t been accumulating recently.

Data shows the sharks and whales of the largest stablecoins have been accumulating, something that may turn out to be bullish for Bitcoin. Sharks & Whales Have Been Loading Up On Stablecoins Recently According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the sharks and whales have recently improved their share of the total supply of stablecoins like USD Coin (USDC), Dai (DAI), and Binance USD (BUSD). The relevant indicator here is the “Supply Distribution,” which tells us what percentage of a cryptocurrency’s total circulating supply is being held by which wallet group in the market. Addresses are divided into these “wallet groups” based on the total number of tokens that they are holding at the moment. In the context of the current discussion, the 100,000 to 10 million coins cohort is of interest. This group naturally includes the wallets of all the investors who are carrying a balance of at least 100,000 and at most 10 million tokens. As the assets in question here are USD-pegged stablecoins (meaning that their value is fixed at $1), the bounds of this range convert to $100,000 and $10 million, respectively. As these amounts are massive, only the largest of the investors in the market would be sitting on these addresses. The sharks and whales are two such cohorts that are large enough to cover these wallets. These groups can be quite influential in the market, as they have the power to move a notable amount of coins at once. Obviously, the whales would be the more important group of the two, as they are the larger cohort. Related Reading: Santiment Explains How Bitcoin Investor Mentality Influenced Recent Price Action Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Supply Distribution of these sharks and whales for three of the most popular stablecoins in the sector: All three of these supplies seem to have gone up in recent weeks | Source: Santiment on Twitter As displayed in the above graph, the supplies of these three stablecoins hit a low back in March, but have since then observed an increase. This means that sharks and whales of the respective tokens have been accumulating during this period. Generally, investors use stables whenever they want to avoid the volatility associated with other assets like Bitcoin. So, sharks and whales picking up these coins can be a sign that they have been exiting the other assets recently. Eventually, however, such investors who have taken safe haven in stablecoins may exchange these tokens back for the volatile coins, once they feel that prices are right to jump in. Whenever these holders swap their stables, the prices of the assets that they are shifting into can naturally observe a buying pressure. This implies that the currently piled-up stablecoin supplies of the sharks and whales can be looked at as the potential dry powder that may be deployed into assets like Bitcoin. Related Reading: Litecoin’s MVRV Has Surged, Why This Is Bearish In the last couple of weeks, the USDC, DAI, and BUSD supplies of these humongous holders have flatlined, meaning that they may have slowed down their exit from the volatile coins.

On-chain data shows a key XRP sharks and whales group has been accumulating recently, a sign that could be positive for the asset’s price. XRP Whales And Sharks With 1M-10M Tokens Now Hold All-Time High Supply As per data from the analytics firm Santiment, 7.23% of the total XRP supply is now held by this key investor group. The relevant indicator here is the “Supply Distribution,” which tells us how the total supply is distributed across the different wallet groups in the market right now. These “wallet groups” are bands that define ranges between which the number of coins held by wallets belonging to a particular group lies in. For example, the “100-1,000 coins” group includes all addresses that are holding at least 100 and at most 1,000 XRP tokens. Related Reading: Altcoin Indexes Take Beating As Investors Flip Alts For Bitcoin The Supply Distribution metric has two versions; one shows the number of wallets (or more simply, the number of holders) belonging to each cohort, while the other measures the supply percentages contributed by each group. Now, here is a chart that shows data for both these Supply Distribution metrics for the 1M-10M coins band: Looks like the values of both these metrics have climbed up in recent days | Source: Santiment The 1M-10M coins band is an important cohort for XRP as it includes both sharks and whales. Though, the largest whales aren’t included in this group, as the upper level of the band is just 10 million tokens, which is worth around $3.4 million at the current exchange rate. From the graph, it’s apparent that the number of investors belonging to this key group has gone up recently, and the metric’s value now stands at 1,617, which is an all-time high. The percentage of the total XRP supply held by this cohort has observed an even sharper uptrend this month, as these sharks and whales now account for around 7.23% of the total tokens in circulation, which is also a new record.
