A new generation of $BTC whales is entering.
CryptoQuant sees record new whale inflows since mid-2025, while old whales sell and new ones quietly accumulate.
This is one of those on-chain signals you feel more than you see. CryptoQuant reports a record influx of new $BTC whales since mid-2025. Fresh wallets. Fresh capital. Fresh conviction. Not tourists — long-term players setting camp.
At the same time, Glassnode already pointed it out: we’re in the middle of a whale rotation. The old guard is distributing, yes — but a new cohort is buying what they’re selling. When you hear “whales are dumping”, the missing half of the story is often that other whales are loading up just as aggressively.
Markets love simple narratives. Reality prefers balance. This is not mass abandonment — it’s a handover. Coins move from early believers to institutions, funds, and high-net-worth players who didn’t exist in 2013 or 2017.
From experience, this phase is usually quiet, slightly uncomfortable, and very misleading emotionally. But structurally? It’s how long-term trends survive. Rien d’anormal. 🐋🔄
