CryptoQuant says Bitcoin new whales’ realized cap reached $78.61 billion

CryptoQuant analyst MorenoDV_ said Bitcoin’s new whales now hold a realized capitalization of $78.61 billion, compared with $159.15 billion for old whales, according to a note cited by ChainCatcher. The share attributed to new whales stands at 33.06%, up from about 18% earlier in 2026. Since September, realized cap growth has come largely from new whales, while the old-whale cohort has stayed mostly flat. MorenoDV_ said realized capitalization is calculated using the price at which coins last moved on-chain, so it should not be read as a direct measure of BTC supply share. The analyst also tracked cost basis changes for new whales, showing a decline from around $110,000 near a prior peak to roughly $68,000 by late August, before rising again to about $77,000. With BTC at $82,134, that leaves the price about 6.7% above the group’s cost basis. The note added that realized cap growth does not necessarily mean an equal amount of fresh capital entered the market, because holder rotation and transfers between addresses can also push the metric higher.

Doctor Profit says he exited QNT entirely, claims some large holders are quietly selling

Trader Doctor Profit said on X that he has fully taken profit on his QNT position and exited the trade. In his post, he said QNT’s move from $50 to $374 within just a few days was remarkable and that he was satisfied with the gains already locked in. He also described what he sees as a contradictory tone on X, with some users trying to convince themselves not to sell while at the same time urging others to keep buying. According to him, persistently elevated funding rates suggest that long positioning has become overcrowded. Doctor Profit added that the current setup leaves him uneasy, especially because he says he knows some large holders have already started distributing privately while still encouraging retail buyers in public. He said he respects everyone’s decision, but prefers to be transparent about his own trades. Even if he sold too early and QNT continues to rise, he said he remains comfortable with the choice and satisfied with the outcome.

CryptoQuant Analyst: Bitcoin Spot Demand Turns Negative, Retail Selling Main Cause

According to a report by CryptoQuant community author CW8900 on September 7, Bitcoin's spot demand has continued to decline, with the negative value expanding further, while futures demand saw a slight drop. The current market rally is primarily driven by futures demand, which is not a positive signal as sustained upward movement requires spot demand. Despite the price rebound, spot BTC outflows have increased, threatening the rally if the trend persists. On-chain data reveals that large holders are accumulating, while retail investors are steadily selling, even during price increases. CW8900 suggests retail investors may have adapted to the previous downtrend and are inclined to take profits or reduce positions during bounces. The negative spot demand is mainly attributed to ongoing retail selling, whereas large investors continue to buy.

Four large addresses are set to receive $44.69 million in HYPE spot tokens over the next six days

TradingBeats, formerly known as Hyperinsight, said on Aug. 31 that about 2.5658 million HYPE are currently in the withdrawal queue for large stakers over the next six days, based on addresses with at least 100,000 tokens cumulatively staked. At current prices, that amount is worth about $208 million. Most of the queued tokens are tied to protocol contracts, Trade.xyz, and Hyperliquid Labs-related addresses, but four outside addresses account for a notable share of the upcoming releases. Together, those four addresses are set to receive about 551,100 HYPE, worth roughly $44.69 million, after completing the seven-day unstaking wait and returning to spot balances. The addresses listed by TradingBeats are 0x023a, labeled Auros Global, with about 101,000 HYPE due on the evening of Aug. 31; 0x251f with about 135,100 HYPE due on the evening of Sept. 3; 0xc288 with about 115,000 HYPE due on Sept. 4; and 0xe867, labeled a million-HYPE staking whale, with about 200,000 HYPE due on Sept. 6. TradingBeats said the four addresses represent about 21.5% of all large-address arrivals scheduled for the next six days. The remaining roughly 2.0147 million HYPE mainly involve stakedHYPE, Kinetiq, Trade.xyz, and Hyperliquid Labs-related addresses, with Sept. 5 expected to mark the daily peak at about 1.34 million HYPE, or 1.05 million under the large-staker measure.
