Bitcoin (BTC) Activity at Lowest Level Since 2010 ππ¨
According to on-chain data from IntoTheBlock, the share of active Bitcoin addresses has fallen to its lowest level since November 2010. π°οΈ
In June, the percentage of weekly active wallets dropped to a low of 1.22% and reached a high of only 1.32%. π The highest value this month was last achieved in November 2010.
Moreover, the total number of active wallets has hit a multi-year low. π In the week of May 27, 614,770 active wallets were recorded, the lowest figure since December 2018.
A declining share of active addresses indicates a lack of buying and selling activity among Bitcoin investors, suggesting a period of market consolidation. πΌπ
BTC$61,705 π°
Juan Pellicer, a senior analyst at IntoTheBlock, attributes the decreasing wallet activity to weaker retail investor participation compared to previous cycles. π₯π
"This year's run to a new all-time high was driven by institutional capital, not retail investors," Pellicer told Cointelegraph. π’πΌ
"The general economic situation may have played a role in retail investors not making as many crypto investments as in the past." π
The decline in activity rate comes as investors prepare for a period of increased whale activity, including the Mt. Gox trustee planning to start distributing payments to creditors in July. π³π°
Some larger Bitcoin holders, including governments, have also been associated with recent selling activities. ποΈπΌ
"Due to this concentration, a large part of the bearish trading activity takes place off-chain, which doesn't significantly impact on-chain address activity statistics," Pellicer adds. ππ
