Bitcoin whales took advantage of the recent market decline, amassing 71,000 BTC valued at $4.3 billion at the fastest rate since April 2023. This accumulation occurred as Bitcoin retraced to $54,200, indicating a potential market bottom.
Bitcoin Whales Amass $4.3B in BTC Amid Market Slump, Marking Fastest Accumulation Since April 2023
This amount of Bitcoin has yet to be accumulated by Bitcoin billionaires over 30 days since April 2023, shortly after several local banks in the United States collapsed, according to Cointelegraph.
Bitcoin whales capitalized on the crypto market's decline earlier this month, amassing 71,000 Bitcoin at the quickest pace since April 2023.
A chart from cryptocurrency analytics firm IntoTheBlock demonstrates that a significant portion of Bitcoin, currently valued at $4.3 billion, was acquired when Bitcoin retraced to $54,200 on July 5.
According to CryptoQuant, the Bitcoin whales have been accumulating Bitcoin at the fastest rate (on a 30-day moving average) since April 2023, shortly after several local banks in the US collapsed.
“This suggests that the bottoming out of #BTC may be nearly complete,” CryptoQuant analyst Minkyu Woo added in a separate X post.
In the interim, Santiment, a cryptocurrency analytics firm, observed that smaller merchants have been liquidating their holdings during the decline.
Santiment also noted a 261 percent increase in the number of Bitcoin accounts that held at least 10 Bitcoin during the first ten days of July.
“[This] should give traders comfort in a long-term bullish future.”
Nevertheless, not all Bitcoin whales intend to stack and hold (hold on for precious life).
Dormant Bitcoin Whale Moves $60M After 12 Years, BTC Shows Signs of Price Recovery
Whale Alert reports that on July 14, a dormant Bitcoin whale awoke after a 12-year hiatus and transferred 1,000 Bitcoins valued at nearly $60 million to two new wallets.
Bitcoin is trading at $60,850, representing an 8.1% decrease from the previous month.
According to industry experts, the price decline has been significantly influenced by the German government's sale of nearly 50,000 Bitcoin, valued at $3 billion, and Mt. Gox's intention to sell $8 billion to its creditors.
Nevertheless, Bitcoin began to exhibit indications of a price recovery over the weekend, surpassing the $60,000 resistance barrier and gaining 6% since the close of trading on Friday.
This encompassed a significant surge in the immediate aftermath of an assassination attempt on US presidential candidate Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
