While the crowd panics,large players accumulate. Your brain's herd instinct screams "sell"—but the whales are doing the opposite. Decode the hidden signal.
Bitcoin (BTC) inflows to exchanges are increasingly dominated by large holders as the crypto market remains in a bearish phase. This is according to the analysis of the company Onchain CryptoQuant.
Based on the CryptoQuant report, the whale ratio has risen to 0.64, the highest level since October 2015. This means that 64% of all bitcoin inflows to exchanges come from the 10 largest deposits by volume.
"This suggests large investors are driving sales activity," the block quoted him as saying.
At the same time, the average inflow of bitcoins to exchanges rose to 1.58 BTC in February, the highest level since June 2022.
CryptoQuant said overall bitcoin inflows to exchanges have normalized after a surge in capitulations, easing immediate selling pressure.
After bitcoin's correction to the USD 60,000 area earlier this month, the total inflow of exchanges jumped to around 60,000 BTC on February 6, the highest daily level since November 2024. Since then,
inflows have declined to about 23,000 BTC based on a seven-day moving average, down about 60%.
"This suggests the massive sell-off phase has eased, although the flow of exchanges remains high compared to previous months,”
Outside of bitcoin, altcoins continue to face broad selling pressure. The average daily deposit amount of altcoins on exchanges has risen to around 49,000 in 2026, up 22% from around 40,000 in the IV quarter of 2025.
"High altcoin deposits usually precede high volatility and reflect weaker market confidence outside of bitcoin,”

Depreciation Of Purchase Flows
At the same time, the current stablecoins show shrinking purchasing power. Tether's daily net inflows to exchanges have fallen sharply from a one-year high of $ 616 million in November 2025 to just $ 27 million recently.
Net flows have even turned negative at times, including outflows of USD 469 million on January 25, 2026. CryptoQuant notes a declining or negative flow of stablecoins indicates a lack of liquidity available on margin to buy crypto assets.
Overall, CryptoQuant said bitcoin sales pressure is increasingly concentrated among large holders, altcoins are experiencing wide distribution, and the outflow of stablecoins indicates a reduced "reserve fund".
These factors imply "limited demand buffering and a market structure susceptible to further volatility during the ongoing bear market phase,"
