Bitcoin whale activity has climbed for the sixth consecutive week, according to fresh on-chain data shared by analytics firm Santiment. If the current tempo holds, this week could become the most active for large Bitcoin transactions in 2025.
Analysts report a sharp increase in high-value transfers as BTC’s price declined. Over the past week, the network registered more than 102,900 transactions exceeding $100,000, along with over 29,000 transactions worth above $1 million—a clear signal that major players are becoming significantly more active.
This shift aligns with a broader change in market behavior. While short-term holders and traders are taking profits, whale wallets have transitioned from selling to renewed accumulation, suggesting confidence in Bitcoin’s medium-term outlook.
According to the CEO of CryptoQuant, most selling pressure is currently coming from retail traders and short-term investors. In contrast, miners and long-term holders remain largely inactive on the sell side, reinforcing the idea that the recent market dip is being used by larger wallets to stock up.
However, CryptoQuant also highlights a notable regional trend: U.S. investors are exerting the strongest selling pressure. Bitcoin has closed in the red for four consecutive weeks during U.S. trading hours, while market conditions in Europe and the APAC region appear more stable.
Earlier, CryptoQuant warned that Bitcoin’s correction could extend toward $87,500, although growing whale accumulation may influence how the trend unfolds.
