The Bitcoin (BTC) market\u2019s supply dynamics are being reshaped, with on-chain data showing that large holders of the asset are selling off some of their stash, while mid-tier investors are buying more.<\/p>\n
This transition is happening as BTC trades near a long-term support zone, raising questions about whether its next move could be another leg higher or the start of a deeper correction.<\/p>\n
According to the data shared<\/a> by analyst JA Maartunn, addresses with more than 1,000 BTC are getting smaller, while wallets with between 100 and 1,000 BTC are steadily getting bigger.<\/p>\n \u201cBig Fish Down, Medium Players Up,\u201d stated the market watcher on X, pointing to a supply redistribution from whales to smaller ETF custody accounts. This suggests institutional flows are gradually fragmenting among mid-sized entities rather than remaining concentrated with the largest holders.<\/p>\n At the same time, other traders are warning that Bitcoin has been in a \u201cdistribution phase\u201d for more than two months. According to pseudonymous analyst Doctor Profit, heavy selling between $115,000 and $125,000 has consistently capped<\/a> upward momentum, with whales and recently unlocked wallets offloading into rallies.<\/p>\n His cautious tone was reinforced by technical signals from a recent report by CryptoQuant expert CryptoOnchain, who highlighted<\/a> BTC\u2019s test of a major ascending trendline that coincided with the realized price of new whales. He suggested that if the price goes below this zone, it could break the bullish structure and start a long-term drop.<\/p>\n Despite the selling pressure from whales, not all analysts believe the bull run is finished. A previous analysis<\/a> argues that cycle peaks are typically accompanied by retail euphoria and overheated on-chain metrics, conditions that are not present today. Additionally, indicators like a low Reserve Risk score suggest long-term holders remain confident, and expanding global liquidity could provide further tailwinds for appreciation<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to CoinGecko data, Bitcoin is now worth $111,902, a modest 0.8% uptick from 24 hours ago. The world\u2019s number one cryptocurrency has been between $110,909 and $112,806 in the last day, which is not as steep compared to the previous week, when it dropped as low as $108,799.<\/p>\n On a seven-day basis, BTC has gained 1.4%, while its two-week performance is slightly firmer at 1.8%. However, the bigger picture shows a 5.6% drop over the past month, a sign of cooling momentum after hitting its all-time high of $124,457 less than a month ago on August 14.<\/p>\n Year-on-year, the asset remains impressive with a 102.9% gain, even though its inability to retake the $115,000 to $125,000 band reflects the weight of ongoing profit-taking.<\/p>\n The post Bitcoin Ownership Shifts: Whales Cash Out as Mid-Tier Investors Rise in 2025<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Bitcoin (BTC) market\u2019s supply dynamics are being reshaped, with on-chain data showing that large holders of the asset are selling off some of their stash, while mid-tier investors are buying more.
