Major bitcoin players have become significantly more active amid the falling price. During the week, the network recorded more than 102,900 transactions for amounts over $100,000, as well as more than 29,000 transactions where the amount exceeded $1 million, Santiment reports.

According to experts, this is the sixth week in a row when whale activity is increasing. And if the dynamics continue, this week may become the most active in 2025, the report said.

In addition, analysts note a change in the behavior of major players — from selling to re-accumulation.

According to the CEO of analytics platform CryptoQuant, mostly traders and short-term investors are involved in selling. Miners and long-term holders are not active in sales.

However, CryptoQuant paid attention to the increased pressure from U.S. investors. They noted that bitcoin ends the fourth week in a row in the “red zone”, and sales prevail during trading hours in the U.S., while in Europe and the APAC region the situation is more stable.

Recall, earlier in CryptoQuant said that the correction of bitcoin may continue to $87 500.
