The Bitcoin community has celebrated the digital asset’s climb past $110,000 in 2025 as evidence of its growing global relevance. Yet beneath the surface, not all voices share the optimism. Over 10,000 BTC, worth more than $1 billion, was recently moved from a wallet that had been inactive since 2011 . Following that, multiple similar wallets were activated, and a total of 80,009 BTC, worth almost $9 billion, was moved to unknown wallets. The transfers prompted speculation among many crypto holders, but Bitcoin advocates largely dismissed the event as routine. However, XRP proponent Edoardo Farina views it as a sign of deeper instability. Farina’s Warning to Bitcoin Holders In a recent post , Farina stated that the Bitcoin community is “completely ignoring the red flags staring them in the face,” asserting that they are “blinded by arrogance” and unable to see the broader implications. For Farina, the timing and nature of these moves suggest something more than mere internal transfers. Though none of the funds appear to have entered centralized exchanges, the scale of the movement has unsettled some market watchers, and some anticipate an upcoming sell-off. Farina argues this is precisely the kind of event the Bitcoin community refuses to analyze critically. The BTC community is completely ignoring the red flags staring them in the face. Saylor is a government contractor paid to deceive the masses. Blinded by arrogance, they unable to spot the RED flags. But in time, their fall will be the lesson. We tried to warn them. — EDO FARINA 🅧 XRP (@edward_farina) July 4, 2025 We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 He went further in questioning the motivations of Bitcoin figureheads, alleging that Michael Saylor, who has been called Bitcoin’s Warren Buffett , is part of a coordinated effort to mislead. “Saylor is a government contractor paid to deceive the masses,” Farina wrote, reinforcing a narrative he has promoted in previous critiques of institutional involvement in Bitcoin. Possibility of Future Sell-Offs The suggestion that these dormant wallets could eventually be used to liquidate large holdings is not unprecedented. Historically, early miner wallets have rarely moved funds unless some form of realization, profit-taking, transfer of custody, or structural risk management was involved. A similar event occurred in March 2024 after a wallet that had stayed dormant for 14 years sold its BTC at an all-time high. The 2025 wallet reactivations mirror those concerns. If such holders begin to exit positions during heightened optimism, Bitcoin could be exposed to swift downward pressure. Is Bitcoin’s Downfall Coming? Critics of Farina often dismiss his perspective as tribalism. However, the scale and timing of the recent wallet moves lend some weight to his concerns. Farina has always believed that Bitcoin maximalists are not ready to admit XRP’s superiority , and their blindness in this case reinforces his point. For him, the issue is the Bitcoin community’s refusal to confront the possibility of an unfavorable outcome. “Their fall will be the lesson,” he warned. “We tried to warn them.” Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin told CNBC in an interview in Cannes that institutional investors are choosing Ethereum not because of “scalability” or “speed,” but because of its stability and reliability. “Many institutions tell us directly that they prefer Ethereum because it is stable, reliable and does not crash,” Buterin said. According to Buterin, the fact that Ethereum has not experienced a single second of downtime in its ten-year history is a great source of confidence for institutional investors. In his opening speech at the EthCC event in Paris, Buterin discussed the future development direction of the Ethereum network and the “test of value” encountered during this period of accelerating institutional adoption. Noting that institutions are focusing on issues such as “privacy” in particular for the future, Buterin stated that these issues are much more important than the technical infrastructure of the system. Related News: The US Government's Chief Advisor on Cryptocurrencies, Bo Hines, Reveals His Big Prediction About Cryptocurrencies The new co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, Tomasz Stańczak, also supported this view, saying that these core values are why institutions choose ETH: “Ethereum has not suffered a single second of downtime over the last decade. Along with constant upgrades, it has always remained true to security and censorship resistance.” Stańczak also noted that when institutions send orders to the market, they expect their transactions to be executed without discrimination, fairly, on time and without errors. With stablecoins and tokenized assets becoming increasingly mainstream, the importance of such deterministic assurances is also increasing. *This is not investment advice.

Bitcoin’s price has held steady around $108,100 as of Saturday afternoon after big holders shipped out a massive load of coins. Based on reports, whales—those early adopters and big miners—sold over 500,000 BTC in the past 12 months. At today’s rates, that stash is worth north of $50 billion. Institutions grabbed almost every coin they let go. It’s a huge shift in who really owns Bitcoin. Whales Pass The Torch According to Bloomberg’s review of 10x Research data, wallets holding between 1,000–10,000 BTC saw their balances slip from over 4.5 million coins in January 2023 to about 4.47 million in July 2025. At the same time, addresses with 100–1,000 BTC jumped from nearly 4 million to 4.77 million. That shift shows big players trimming back while medium‑size holders, often funds or wealthy clients, build their stacks. It’s happening quietly through in‑kind transfers and private deals that skip public exchanges. Institutions Ramp Up Their Stakes Funds, ETFs and corporate treasuries have scooped up almost every coin dropped by whales. Data from Bitcoin Treasuries shows private companies boosted their holdings from 279,374 BTC in July 2024 to 290,883 BTC today. Public firms climbed from 325,400 BTC to 848,600 BTC. ETFs led the charge, raising their balance from 1,039,000 BTC to 1,405,480 BTC. In total, these groups added 899,198 BTC—about $96 billion—over the past year. That buying power has helped keep the market in balance as whales step back. Shift In On-Chain Holdings Medium-sized wallets are growing while the largest ones shrink. That trend suggests new types of investors are moving in. Edward Chin, co‑founder of Parataxis Capital, said in‑kind transfers let coins move from anonymous holders to regulated firms without public trades. This quiet pipeline boosts on‑chain activity and brings more oversight to big Bitcoin trades. Volatility Hits Two-Year Low As institutional flows rise, price swings have dulled. The Deribit 30‑day volatility gauge sits at its lowest level in two years. Jeff Dorman, CIO at Arca, compared today’s Bitcoin to a steady dividend payer that might deliver annual gains in the 10–20% range. That’s a far cry from the 1,400% surge seen in 2017. For long‑term savers, steadier returns look more attractive than wild rallies. Meanwhile, Fred Thiel, CEO of miner MARA Holdings, said his company still holds every coin it mines. But he warned that if whale selling picks up again and institutional appetite fades, prices could lurch lower. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

The post Bitcoin Price Could Test $99K Before a Year-End Surge, Says Market Expert appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Bitcoin’s price has been moving sideways in recent sessions, but a big breakout could be coming soon. Currently, the price is consolidating just under a major resistance trendline on the daily chart. This level has held firm for several days, creating tension in the market as traders await the next decisive move. Interestingly, analyst Ted Pillows pointed out that back in 2020, a huge government spending bill helped send Bitcoin to record highs. Now in 2025, another spending bill is on the way, and this one is even bigger, hoping that history might repeat itself. In a recent interview, CryptoQuant’s Head of Research, Julio Moreno, shared his outlook for Bitcoin’s price over the next two to three months. According to Moreno, Bitcoin is likely to trade between $87,000 and $99,000 in the short term if current market conditions continue. Moreno explained that this range is based on on-chain data showing the average price at which traders brought their Bitcoin, known as the realized price. In bull markets, prices often correct toward this level before moving higher again. The upper resistance band, which would act as a potential top for now, sits at $138,000. Right now, demand for Bitcoin appears to be weakening slightly. Unless buying activity picks up in the coming weeks, Moreno said there’s a stronger chance of seeing a dip toward $99,000 before any major rally. He said that in order to see Bitcoin climb to $138,000, demand would need to strengthen. Moreno further explained that Bitcoin’s market cycle top could still reach around $190,000 later on, though he expects the current cycle to stretch into 2026. Historically, Bitcoin performs well in the final quarter of the year during bull cycles, so a strong finish to 2025 isn’t off the table.
