Analyst MorenoDV, citing CryptoQuant data, notes that Bitcoin’s bear market has reshaped the capital structure of its largest holders. New whales now make up roughly one-third of the total realized market capitalization of all whales, positioning recent large holders as increasingly critical to Bitcoin’s recovery. As of October 15, new whales hold $78.61 billion in realized market cap, while old whales hold $159.15 billion—translating to a 33.06% share, up from around 18% at the start of 2026. This metric reflects the value of tokens at their last on-chain movement, not their share of total Bitcoin supply. The growth is not merely a shift in relative weight: since September, new whales’ realized market cap has continued to climb, while old whales’ realized cap has remained largely stable. This means recent expansion has been concentrated among the younger holder cohort. The realized price chart backs this trend: new whales’ combined cost basis fell from roughly $110,000 near the previous cycle peak to around $68,000 at the end of August, before rebounding to roughly $77,000. This aligns with positions being re-priced to lower levels during the downturn, followed by renewed participation as prices recover. Data shows whales accumulated during market weakness and extended this accumulation into the recovery phase. This mirrors counter-cyclical positioning by "strong hands", though group turnover and transfers mean the rise in realized market cap does not equal an equivalent influx of new cash.

On October 16, Circle released an announcement stating that in the first half of 2026, USDC on-chain settlement volume exceeded $36 trillion, with Circle minting and redeeming over $315 billion worth of USDC during the same period, averaging around $1.7 billion per day. The company said that as of June, USDC accounted for approximately 77% of global stablecoin trading volume, up from 60% a year prior. What drew more market attention was USDC’s revenue allocation. Circle disclosed that the company generated roughly $1.4 billion in revenue in the first half, of which about $819 million went to USDC distribution partners and transaction costs, accounting for around 59% of total revenue; another $473 million was allocated to licenses, banking partnerships, settlement liquidity, compliance frameworks, product development, and multi-chain deployments, making up roughly 34%. Per the announcement’s metrics, Circle retains only about 7 cents in net profit for every $1 of revenue it earns. The announcement appears to be a response to market skepticism over “stablecoin issuers hoarding reserve profits”. Circle stated that partners can share corresponding reserve earnings by holding and growing USDC balances on their platforms; more than 150 exchanges, wallets, banks, fintech firms, payment platforms, and enterprises have now formed economic ties tied to USDC’s growth. Circle also noted that Binance signed a five-year commercial agreement with it in September and invested $100 million in the company. On the product front, Circle announced an expansion of its free redemption mechanism: all Circle customers can still redeem USDC for free via traditional banking channels, with funds typically arriving in no more than two business days; eligible customers making payments through the Circle Payments Network or using products like Arc, Circle Mint, and Circle Wallets will gain access to free, near-real-time redemption capabilities.
