CryptoQuant: Large Ethereum Wallets Add 5.6M ETH Since Mid-2025
CryptoCompass editorial visual for altcoins coverage.

Whale cohorts holding between 10,000–100,000 ETH accumulated 5.6 million ETH "during the period" discussed in an Oct. 14, 2025 Sygnum/Mitrade piece citing CryptoQuant. The report situates the buying in an accumulation phase beginning mid‑2025.

CryptoQuant data reported by Cointelegraph show daily inflows into ETH accumulation addresses increased steadily since mid‑2025, reaching a record 1.14 million ETH in November 2025.

Cointelegraph also reports the amount of ETH held in accumulation wallets increased by 6.5 million to 26.55 million ETH from 20.1 million ETH on Jan. 1. The inflows have continued to climb in 2026, averaging 200,000 ETH per day, and the article cites Dune for a record 37.85 million staked ETH.

Accumulation wallets balance and inflows: what changed

According to Cointelegraph’s summary of CryptoQuant data, daily inflows into accumulation addresses rose through the back half of 2025 and set an all‑time high of 1.14 million ETH in November 2025. The same report notes the balance held by accumulation wallets rose by 6.5 million to 26.55 million ETH, from 20.1 million ETH on Jan. 1 (Cointelegraph, citing CryptoQuant).

A separate Sygnum/Mitrade note, also citing CryptoQuant, highlights that whale cohorts with 10,000–100,000 ETH accumulated 5.6 million ETH "during the period" referenced in that analysis (Mitrade / Sygnum, citing CryptoQuant).

Cointelegraph adds that the inflow trend persisted into 2026, averaging 200,000 ETH per day (CryptoQuant via Cointelegraph).

Plausible drivers reflected in the reports

The Cointelegraph article citing CryptoQuant places the accumulation trend alongside a staking milestone, noting that staked ETH reached a record 37.85 million, a figure attributed to Dune (Cointelegraph; staking figure attributed to Dune). This context suggests more ETH may be parked in longer‑term holding and staking, which can align with rising balances in accumulation addresses.

The Sygnum/Mitrade reference to 10,000–100,000 ETH wallets accumulating 5.6 million ETH points to participation by large holders in that period, consistent with the broader buildup reflected in CryptoQuant’s accumulation metrics (Mitrade / Sygnum, citing CryptoQuant).

These reports focus on on‑chain wallet balances and flows. They document that accumulation and staking rose; they do not attribute the trend to a single catalyst.

How to read these metrics and their limits

Rising daily inflows into accumulation addresses and a higher total balance held by such wallets can indicate growing long‑horizon holding activity. The whale cohort data adds detail on which wallet bands participated during the period covered.

On their own, these metrics cannot prove future price direction, timing, or the motives behind the flows. They are snapshots of on‑chain behavior drawn from address classifications and cohort buckets reported by the cited sources.

What to watch next in holder behavior

Key checkpoints include whether daily inflows approach or exceed the 1.14 million ETH record, how the accumulation wallet balance behaves relative to 26.55 million ETH, and whether 2026’s reported average of 200,000 ETH per day persists (CryptoQuant via Cointelegraph).

Updates to the staked ETH total from the source cited in Cointelegraph’s report will also matter for supply context, given the noted record of 37.85 million (staking figure attributed to Dune in Cointelegraph). Watch for fresh cohort reads on 10,000–100,000 ETH wallets to see if the 5.6 million ETH addition pattern continues (Mitrade / Sygnum, citing CryptoQuant).
