analytics company notice Bitcoin’s on-chain activity has not made any headway since last week, which is the first sign that interest and demand for the asset is waning.
This is reflected in the drop in BTC addresses with non-zero balances. Glassnode reports that about 220,000 wallets have been completely emptied in the last 30 days.
The percentage of investors’ returns is also declining, which is expected in part because the asset’s price remains well below its peak. Glassnode estimates that 10.9% of BTC investors are accumulating at prices between $33,500 and $44,600.
As most BTC investors entered the market over the past few weeks, Glassnode noted that if BTC’s price keeps falling, they could be the first to sell.
