Key Points:
Despite equities rallying behind the latest U.S. inflation report, Bitcoin, the world’s largest digital asset by market capitalization, hardly budged in price.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization decreased by 0.7% over the past 24 hours and was trading at $61,400 at 12:00 p.m. UTC per CoinMarketCap’s Price Page. Additionally, the GM30 Index of the top 30 cryptocurrencies only increased 0.82% to 128.84, as shown by IntoTheBlock.
The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis announced Friday that inflation in the U.S., as measured by the annual change in the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, fell to 2.6% in May.
Stock futures rose following the report, with Dow Jones Industrial Average futures up 0.09% and the NYSE Composite rising 0.085% in pre-market trading, while S&P 500 futures stayed steady.

According to data from IntoTheBlock, this has brought Bitcoin’s weekly active address ratio to 1.22%, a level last seen in November 2010.
Of course, as a result, the total number of active Bitcoin wallets dropped to a multi-year low rating; on May 27, there were only 614,770 active addresses within Bitcoin wallets—the lowest since December 2018.
In May alone, long-term holders sold 160,000 BTC, about $10 billion. Selling pressure somewhat slowed down in June, but still, 40,000 BTC were moved out of the long-term holders’ wallets.
