Crypto analyst Cheeky Crypto shared some exciting news about Bitcoin. The data suggests that large Bitcoin holders, often called “whales,” who own more than 1,000 Bitcoins each, have dropped to the lowest levels since July 2019.
The analysis looks at various aspects of Bitcoin, like the number of addresses and transactions. One key point is that around 52.3 million addresses hold some Bitcoin. The analyst breaks down different sizes of wallets, from smaller ones held by regular people to larger ones owned by wealthy individuals and institutions.
The data shows that as we look at bigger wallets, there’s a decrease in the number of them. This means that big Bitcoin holders, the whales, have been selling or moving their Bitcoin for quite some time.
But there’s a bit of good news, too. Recently, wallets holding a massive amount of Bitcoin, like 10,000 or more, have shown a small increase. This could mean that some big players see value in buying Bitcoin at its current price.
Despite the overall decrease in big wallets, the analyst suggests that some might move Bitcoin to exchanges instead of selling it. This raises questions about what’s happening between big institutional investors and regular people.
Looking ahead, the analyst talks about possible future scenarios and opens up about the importance of Bitcoin’s price reaching certain levels. For instance, if the price drops to $30,000, regular investors might sell much of their Bitcoin, creating a challenging situation. On the other hand, big investors might take advantage of the lower price to buy more Bitcoin.
When writing, Bitcoin trades in red at the $41k level, down by more than one percent.
