How Has Bitcoin Reacted?
Stats from IntoTheBlock state that Bitcoin’s price stands at $61,371.54, with a minimal daily change of +0.1% and a market capitalization of approximately $1.21 trillion. This robust market cap underscores Bitcoin’s significant position in the cryptocurrency space. Looking at holders making money at the current price, approximately 85% of Bitcoin holders are making money at the current price, with only 13% facing losses, indicating strong positive sentiment in the market.
Large holders control about 12% of Bitcoin’s total supply, pointing to a somewhat decentralized holding pattern relative to other cryptocurrencies where whale activity is more pronounced. Transactions are split almost evenly between the Western and Eastern hemispheres, with 49% originating in the West and 51% in the East, showcasing Bitcoin’s global reach and appeal. In the past seven days, the market has seen $77.28 billion worth of transactions exceeding $100,000, highlighting significant institutional or large-scale investor movements. There has been $6.18 billion in total inflows to exchanges, compared to $6.66 billion in outflows. This suggests a slightly higher propensity for investors to hold or move Bitcoin off exchanges, potentially indicating a bullish sentiment.
