Bitcoin records second-largest weekly whale accumulation of 2025

Published at 2025-11-12 22:29:37

On-chain data shows whales accumulated roughly 45,000 BTC over the past week, making this the second-largest weekly buying wave by large holders in 2025. Analysts say this surge came as whales stepped in to absorb selling pressure from smaller investors, pulling coins off liquid venues and into long-term custody. The scale of the move stands out amid otherwise muted spot flows.

The accumulation matters because it reduces float on exchanges and can make BTC price action more resistant to short-term sell-offs, though it does not guarantee an immediate rally. Traders and investors will be watching exchange reserves, derivatives positioning and upcoming macro events for confirmation. For now, the trend is a bullish signal on institutional and large-holder conviction, tightening supply dynamics in the near term.
