New Bitcoin whales now hold 33% of whale realized cap, up from 18% earlier in 2026 amid institutional inflows.

A CryptoQuant analysis reveals that new Bitcoin whales—addresses holding over 1,000 BTC with recent activity—now control 33% of the whale realized cap, up from about 18% earlier in 2026. This shift reflects growing institutional and ETF-driven inflows reshaping Bitcoin ownership. The realized cap measures the cost basis of coins based on their last on-chain movement, offering insight into capital entry points rather than current prices. The rise in new whale holdings signals fresh capital entering the market, with their cost basis recovering alongside Bitcoin's price, suggesting continued accumulation and interest from large investors.

The story on new Bitcoin whales controlling a third of the whale realized cap is provided here with Pluang's market data for context. For readers following major cryptocurrencies, 44 out of 50 rose today while 5 fell, as of Oct 16, 2026 19:51 WIB. Notably, EOS increased by 8.13% to Rp12.649 with a typical hold time of 87 days, AAVE rose 8.11% to Rp2.884.403 with a typical hold time of 106 days and a 69% sell order activity, and UNI gained 8.04% to Rp133.144 with a typical hold time of 65 days and a 56% buy order activity.
