Ethereum Price Falls, But Whales Push Holdings To 10-Week High
__DEGRADED__ On-chain data shows large wallets on the Ethereum network have continued to accumulate despite the price decline that the asset has faced. Ethereum Holders With At Least 100,000 ETH Now Control 22% Of Supply According to data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the Ethereum investors owning at least 100,000 ETH have been accumulating recently. At the current exchange rate, this 100,000 ETH cutoff converts to nearly $200 million, so the only holders that would qualify for the cohort would be the big-money ones. In fact, the sums held by members of this group are so significant that they would be classified as large even among the whales, the popular cohort for classifying influential investors. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the total supply held by these Ethereum mega whales over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the Ethereum investors with 100,000+ ETH have collectively added a net amount to their holdings since the start of May. Interestingly, this trend of accumulation has maintained despite the bearish turn that the market has taken in the second half of this month. From the chart, it’s visible that these humongous ETH investors now hold a total of 17.41 million tokens, the highest in around nine weeks. In supply percentage terms, their holdings occupy a share of 22.03%, which is a 10-week high. The fact that the massive Ethereum whales have been adding to their holdings recently can naturally be a positive sign for the cryptocurrency, but something to keep in mind is that the supply of this group has still followed an overall decline since Q4 2025. Considering this, it only remains to be seen whether the current trend will continue for long enough to reverse this drawdown. In related news, on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant has also shared some data related to large holders, this time for the Bitcoin network. As is apparent in the graph on the right, the Bitcoin whales saw their supply go up during January and February, but since then, their 30-day supply change has dropped off to neutral levels. At the same time, the smaller dolphin group (displayed on the left) has also been pulling back on its accumulation. “Historically, when both cohorts stall simultaneously, sustained price weakness tends to follow,” explained CryptoQuant. ETH Price Following a drop of more than 6% over the past week, Ethereum has found itself back under the $2,000 level for the first time since late-March.

$10M In Bitcoin: Texas Breaks From IBIT To Build Its Own BTC System
__DEGRADED__ A public website showing real-time Bitcoin holdings and valuations will be required from whichever firm wins the contract — a transparency measure that sets Texas apart from most institutional holders. The state’s comptroller office released the requirement last Thursday alongside the announcement of a new advisory committee formed to guide the reserve’s operations. Texas has been sitting on $10 million worth of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, a spot ETF used as a temporary position while the state worked out a longer-term plan. That plan is now taking shape, and it means moving away from ETF exposure entirely toward Bitcoin held directly in the state’s name. BREAKING: TEXAS JUST ANNOUNCED THEY ARE PLANNING TO BUY MORE #BITCOIN FOR THEIR RESERVES 1st STATE TO BUY BTC OPENLY. THIS IS HUGE pic.twitter.com/zFRBMs6MRP — The Bitcoin Historian (@pete_rizzo_) May 29, 2026 The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a request for proposals on May 7, calling for a custody and liquidity provider to handle the transition. The winning firm will have 60 days after contract signing to move the existing IBIT holdings into directly custodied Bitcoin. The scope of work goes well beyond simply storing coins. According to the procurement document, the provider must handle acquisitions, sales, ongoing management, and reporting — covering the full range of tasks needed to run a functioning state-level Bitcoin reserve. Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock named four people to the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Advisory Committee. They are Laurie Dotter, a veteran investment executive; Jamie McAvity, founder and CEO of Cormint Data Systems; Carla Reyes, a digital asset law professor at Southern Methodist University; and Gary Vecchiarelli, president and CFO of CleanSpark. The committee’s role covers custody arrangements, risk management, and how the state reports performance to lawmakers. It will also weigh in on broader investment strategy for the reserve going forward. Officials said the reserve could eventually hold assets beyond Bitcoin. The RFP language leaves the door open to other large-cap cryptocurrencies, though no specifics were named. A Reserve Built On LawThe reserve was created through state legislation backed by supporters who argued Bitcoin could act as a buffer against inflation and economic swings over time. Texas allocated $10 million to fund it, using IBIT as a bridge position from the start. The public transparency website is among the more unusual features of the plan. Texas would essentially be publishing a live ledger of its crypto holdings, updated in real time, accessible to anyone. Proposals from interested custody firms are being accepted through the state’s procurement portal. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
