Looking at the week of December 1st through 7th, 2025, the crypto markets showed some interesting momentum.

Stablecoin market caps pushed higher. DEX volumes ticked up alongside protocol revenues—all green across the board.

On the institutional side, big players scooped up 11,260 BTC during this window. Meanwhile, whales didn't sit still either. ETH accumulation ramped up sharply, and dormant BTC wallets that'd been quiet for ages suddenly came back online.

Stablecoin strength often signals fresh capital flowing in. Combined with rising DEX activity and whale movements, it paints a picture of renewed appetite. The reactivation of old BTC addresses? That's always worth watching—could be early holders repositioning, or just dust settling after years of inactivity.

Either way, the data points to a week where multiple corners of the market woke up.

BTC-2.57%

ETH-3.4%

Institutions consumed over 10,000 Bitcoin in a week, this pace is quite fierce... --- Old wallets suddenly became active, are they all trying to bottom fish? --- Stablecoins are rising, DEXs are rising, what is this? Probably a signal before funding --- I just want to know what’s inside those "sleeping" addresses, early miners? --- Wait, all green this week, is that real... I don’t feel it myself --- Whales are eating ETH, institutions are eating BTC, retail investors are eating dirt? --- Strong stablecoins = money entering the market, I can accept this logic --- 11,260 BTC disappeared in a week, what size of order is that? --- Active sleeping addresses = either bottom fishing or dumping, no one knows the truth --- Looks like the market is "awake," but my wallet is still sleeping...

The old whales are starting to move again, and this week is indeed a bit interesting.

Old whales are starting to move; this is not an ordinary signal.

ngl the dormant wallet activation bit is giving "historical precedent suggests something's brewing" energy... but like, could just be exchange sweeps tbh. path dependency and all that

Damn, this wave of whales is really intense—even dormant wallets have been shocked awake.

I can't think of a good explanation for old addresses becoming active again, but looking at this week's data, there does seem to be some renewed interest.

Here we go again, institutions and whales are frantically buying up. Whenever stablecoins start moving, it's never a good sign.

The pace at which institutions are bottom-fishing this time is really incredible... Not many people can come up with 11,260 bitcoins. --- Are dormant wallets becoming active? Feeling a bit nervous, are the old hands about to make a move? --- Stablecoins are rising, DEXes are active too, really feels like big money is about to come in. --- Wait, is this the prelude to institutions accumulating, or just cyclical fluctuations? --- With such aggressive Ethereum accumulation, I need to reconsider my own positions later. --- Those old addresses that have been dormant for years suddenly waking up, it feels like it's hinting at something.

Institutions bought 11,260 bitcoins? Feels like I missed some major move... Those old wallets waking up is just wild, are they planning something?
