According to current data, the supply held by long-term Bitcoin holders has reached a new all-time high. Metrics indicate investors’ confidence in BTC, as they expect the price to rise again in the coming months and years.
The maximum BTC count held by addresses with balances of 1,000-10,000 BTC was calculated as 24.18%. This group was followed by addresses with balances of 10-100 BTC and 100-1,000 BTC, which were above 22% and 19%, respectively. While long-term investors hesitate to sell their assets, there has been a significant decrease in Bitcoin balances on exchanges.
CryptoQuant noted in a recent analysis that BTC’s supply on exchanges has decreased. In fact, Bitcoin exchange balances have dropped to levels seen in early 2018. According to analysis, exchange balances have decreased by approximately 32% since their peak in March 2020, falling from 3.1 million BTC to 2.1 million BTC. The usage of alternatives like DEXs, which are not included in these statistics, may contribute to this.
