CryptoQuant data shared on X shows Bitcoin fund holdings increased by 92,116 BTC between February 7 and May 5, while Ethereum funds lost 127,246 ETH over a similar period. The data points to faster institutional accumulation in Bitcoin, as Ethereum funds continued to show weaker recovery signals.
CryptoQuant said Bitcoin accumulation had accelerated while Ethereum struggled to regain institutional conviction. The analytics platform added that Bitcoin appeared to regain institutional confidence faster than Ethereum.
The Bitcoin chart showed fund holdings rising from 1,278,263 BTC on February 7 to 1,370,379 BTC on May 5. During the same period, Bitcoin’s price moved from about $69,249 to $80,874.
Bitcoin fund holdings climbed 7.21% from the February low shown on the chart. That increase added more than 92,000 BTC to tracked fund balances by May 5.
At the same time, Bitcoin’s price rose alongside the recovery in holdings. The chart showed BTC moving from near $69,249 on February 7 to about $80,874 on May 5.
The data also showed a steady upward path in fund balances from early February through May. That trend matched CryptoQuant’s statement that BTC accumulation had accelerated.
Ethereum fund holdings moved in the opposite direction. The chart showed holdings falling from 5,933,752 ETH on February 5 to 5,806,506 ETH on May 5.
That marked a decline of 127,246 ETH, equal to a 2.14% drop over the period shown. The fall came even as Ethereum’s price recovered from its February level.
ETH traded near $1,823 on February 5 and later reached about $2,359 on May 5. So, while price improved, fund holdings did not return to the earlier level.
This split created a clear contrast between the two assets. Bitcoin funds add holdings, while Ethereum funds still hold fewer coins than they did in early February.
