Crypto whale may use the sell-off wave to attract funds: On-line data shows that large wallets increase their holdings

Bitcoin rebounded nearly 3% from recent lows. On-line data shows that large wallets are increasing their holdings in cryptocurrencies. Ali Charts shared data covering Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP over the past 72 hours on October 9, 2026.

However, buying behavior does not equate to a market bottom. Other data indicators point in the opposite direction.

What did the giant whale do during the decline of the crypto market?

According to Ali Charts data, the main operation is buying. During the price decline, Giant Whale increased its holdings in the three major currencies.

Approximate value of reported sources Bitcoin (BTC)

Nearly 15,000 BTC is approximately US$1.25 billion Ethereum (ETH)

grew by 0.64%, approximately 166, 000ETH does not specify XRP

More than 45 million XRP is approximately US$63 million. Please interpret the above table with caution. Ethereum is shown as a percentage increase, while Bitcoin and XRP are shown as the number of coins and the amount in US dollars. The two cannot be directly compared, and all data are rough estimates.

Does Bitcoin Whale buy or sell?

They chose to buy. Nearly 15,000 bitcoins were traded for a total value of US$1.25 billion, with an average of approximately US$83,000 each. At a time of market panic, such a huge inflow of funds is worthy of attention, but it does not predict the next move in prices.

以太坊和 XRP 的巨鲸也在买入吗？

是的，基于同一份报告。以太坊巨鲸的持仓量上升了 0.64%，约为 166,000 枚 ETH。XRP 巨鲸购买了超过 4500 万枚代币，价值约 6300 万美元。目前 XRP 的价格也表现平稳。但这并非市场已筑底的证据。

美国政府是否在出售比特币？

目前没有确凿证据表明有出售行为。Lookonchain 报道，美国政府在三天内向 Coinbase Prime 转移了 17,733 枚 BTC（价值 14.8 亿美元）和 750 枚 W BTC（价值 6200 万美元）。在此期间资产价格下跌了 6.9%。尽管存款不等于出售，但交易者密切关注此类动向。

比特币 ETF 是否也在逢低买入？

略有买入迹象。SoSoValue 数据显示，10 月 9 日（美东时间），美国现货比特币 ETF 净流入 2113 万美元。贝莱德的 IBIT 增加 2238 万美元，富达的 FBTC 净流出 358 万美元。

从更宏观的角度看，局势较为稳定。比特币 ETF 持有 1058.4 亿美元的净资产，累计净流入 571.3 亿美元。以太坊基金持有 157.1 亿美元，Solana 持有 17.3 亿美元，XRP 持有 15.7 亿美元。尽管部分资金流出影响了以太坊和 Solana，但 ETH、SOL 和 XRP 的 30 日净流入仍为正数。

Will Bitcoin rise sharply in October 2026?

Some traders are hopeful. Crypto Rover pointed out that Bitcoin fell by about 8% in October 2023 and 2024, and then saw a sharp rise. His chart marks a similar 8% decline this month. He said that if Bitcoin wants to recreate "UPTTOber"(referring to the October rally), it needs to repeat this historical script. But history does not always repeat itself.

Why is the current sentiment in the crypto market so depressed?

Sanitation points out that fear no longer stems from price alone. Security concerns are growing, and artificial intelligence (AI) has also become part of the story. Since late August, social discussions about Coldcard, Trezor and Bitget have increased, and Ledger has joined the discussion. Low trust may dissuade buyers, but if prices recover, that negative sentiment may fade quickly.

Does a giant whale buying mean the end of the downtrend?

No conclusion can be drawn based on this alone. Crypto whales often buy in advance, and prices may continue to fall in the future.

Factors supporting a rebound factors increasing risk factors Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP's giant whale buying U.S. government deposits on Coinbase Prime October 9 Positive Bitcoin ETF funds flow weak market sentiment and security concerns after an 8% decline The accumulation of historical rising patterns is not a confirmed bottom Where will Bitcoin go next?

No one knows. If whale buying and ETF inflows continue, a rebound is possible. If more government-held coins enter the exchange, pressure could return. Focus on daily ETF fund flows, Coinbase Prime transfers and whale wallet data, which may provide clearer predictions of Bitcoin price movements in the coming weeks.
