The cryptocurrency market in 2025 is exhibiting new trends in the accumulation of assets by large investors, which could lay the groundwork for the next wave of growth.
Bitcoin: ETF Demand Meets Profit-Taking
Bitcoin leads the market again, trading in the range of $110,000–$111,000 after a recent peak of $123,000 this year. Whales and miners have begun to take profits, while inflows into ETFs from BlackRock and Fidelity indicate strong institutional demand. Analysts suggest that if momentum resumes, reaching $150,000 is possible.
Ethereum: Network Strength but Limited Multiples
Ethereum spiked above $4,800 before retreating to $4,400. With a 63% increase in on-chain transactions over the last month and investment firms like Bitmine contributing tens of millions in ETH, Ethereum's fundamentals remain strong. However, whales signal diversification, with over 200,000 ETH leaving exchanges in just two days, some of which went to presales.
PEPE: Meme Coin Whales Look for Rotation
Investors with large amounts of PEPE have begun to cash out following significant price movements. Despite heightened trading volumes, large holders are rotating their capital into presales that offer better safety perceptions and stronger fundamentals. This trend indicates that meme coin investors are increasingly aware that early investment in presales can yield outsized gains.
The market remains mainly centered on Bitcoin and Ethereum, but PEPE shows how quickly meme coin capital can shift. For investors seeking returns over 1000%, following whale movements is crucial.
