Bitcoin holders get active
As a result, addresses holding more than 10 BTC have started to accumulate large amounts of the cryptocurrency, and other investors are also showing interest in the Bitcoin network, causing activity on the network to rise. Artemiz’s data shows that Bitcoin is the third largest network in terms of active addresses at press time.

Inscriptions on the BTC network and the resulting Ordinals NFTs have also contributed to the spike in interest in the Bitcoin network. These factors have helped the fees accumulated on the network to rise, reaching a 15-month high of $37,452.54 according to Glassnode’s data.
Proceed with caution
Despite these positive developments for BTC, things could come crashing down at any moment. The high MVRV ratio suggests that many holders at press time could be incentivized to sell their Bitcoin for a profit, potentially driving down the price.

Furthermore, miner revenue has started to decline. If miners continue to lose out on profits, they may be forced to sell their BTC to cover losses, which could also drive down the price of the cryptocurrency. Other factors such as hashrate, difficulty and the upcoming Bitcoin halving will also play an important role in the miner’s decision-making process.

While the current trend is positive, the state of Bitcoin can be unpredictable, and it’s always important to exercise caution when investing. Especially during times of high speculation.
