Bitcoin, Ethereum See Accumulation Rise
Recent analysis shows an increase in the accumulation of Bitcoin and Ethereum over the past few days. This accumulation coincides with visible price movements, contributing to the growth of market capitalization.
According to data from CryptoQuant, wallet holdings holding between 1,000 and 10,000 Bitcoins have increased.
These wallets now collectively hold over 3.6 million BTC, showing a significant accumulation despite recent price fluctuations.
Further analysis showed that this trend has continued since March. Furthermore, wallets in the 1000 BTC category now account for about 40% of the total Bitcoin supply.
Furthermore, the data shows that Ethereum has experienced increased accumulation from large addresses.
The chart reveals an upward trend in accumulation from wallets holding between 10,000 and 100,000 ETH. These addresses now hold over 340,000 ETH, worth more than $1.3 billion.
Ethereum sees more holders than Bitcoin
Bitcoin and Ethereum have both experienced increases in accumulation, but Ethereum currently has more holders.
According to data from Santiment, the number of Ethereum holders has increased in recent years, reaching nearly 123 million. In contrast, the number of Bitcoin holders stands at around 54.2 million.

This shows that the number of Ethereum holders is more than double the number of Bitcoin holders. A major reason for this may be the cost of access to these assets.
Currently, the value of Bitcoin has increased again, with predictions of further increases in the future.
This increase may push more traders towards alternative assets like Ethereum and others, subsequently affecting the prices of these assets.
