Whales Cash Out as Mid-Tier Investors Rise in 2025
The post Whales Cash Out as Mid-Tier Investors Rise in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Bitcoin (BTC) market’s 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.

Despite the selling pressure from whales, not all analysts believe the bull run is finished. A previous analysis 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…
