Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (6 articles). Watching for it to gain traction. It's spreading across ETH & BTC — a theme crossing asset classes.

"Bitfinex analysts told CoinDesk the $16.7 billion whale bid near $59,000 mirrors the on chain pattern from the March 2020 and November 2022 lows. In both similar markets, long term holders absorbed supply before any price recovery arrived."
"Large holders responded by buying $16.7 billion worth of BTC in just two weeks while ETF funds were bleeding $4 billion in outflows during the same period."
"Whale wallets added 270,000 BTC worth $16.7 billion near the $59,000 to $62,000 range over the prior two weeks, confirming that the largest holders treated the drawdown as a loading zone."
"whale wallets keep adding while active addresses fall 46% from February highs... BitMine holds 4 million ETH as the largest corporate treasury, and SharpLink bought $16 million more, showing whale conviction runs ahead of the recovery."
"Bitmine just added 126,971 Ethereum tokens worth $136 million in a single week, its biggest purchase of 2026, bringing total holdings past 5.54 million ETH while the price sits 65% below its peak.

"K3 Capital bagged 10,000 ETH, worth $16.92 million, from Binance today. Simultaneously, Chun Wang-related wallet has scooped up 7,650 Ethereum, valued at $12.93 million, recently"
