At the end of May, the market cap was approximately $1.54 trillion. Currently it is about $2.54 trillion, indicating an increase of almost $1 trillion.
Bitcoin and Ethereum are seeing increased accumulation
Recent analyzes indicate an increase in Bitcoin and Ethereum accumulation in recent days. This accumulation coincides with notable price movements, contributing to the increase in market capitalization.
According to data from CryptoQuantportfolio reserves have increased by between 1,000 and 10,000 Bitcoins.
These wallets now collectively hold over 3.6 million BTC, indicating significant accumulation despite recent price fluctuations.
Further analysis showed that this trend has been continuing since March. Furthermore, wallets in the 1,000 BTC category now account for approximately 40% of the total Bitcoin supply.
Additionally, data indicate this that Ethereum is experiencing increasing accumulation by large addresses.
The chart shows an upward trend in the accumulation of portfolios containing between 10,000 and 100,000 ETH. These addresses now hold over 340,000 ETH, worth over $1.3 billion.
Ethereum sees more holders than Bitcoin
Bitcoin and Ethereum have both experienced greater accumulation, but Ethereum currently has more holders.
According to data from Santiment, the number of Ethereum holders has skyrocketed in recent years to nearly 123 million. In contrast, the number of Bitcoin holders is approximately 54.2 million.

This indicates that the number of Ethereum holders is more than double that of Bitcoin holders. A major reason for this may be the cost of accessing these assets.
Currently, the value of Bitcoin has risen again, with predictions of further increases in the future.
This surge could drive more traders to alternative assets like Ethereum and others, which could then impact the prices of these assets.
