More Bitcoin hits exchanges
While the price and quantity of Bitcoin addresses have increased recently, the supply on exchanges has also increased over the past few days. In the last five days alone, around 50,000 BTC or $1.2 billion have been put into well-known crypto exchange wallets, according to Alicharts.

How much are 1,10,100 BTCs worth today
The increase in supply on exchanges is a sign that there is liquidity available. The availability of liquidity may be advantageous as the number of Bitcoin addresses grows. However, BTC’s value will fall if the scales tilt and there is more supply than demand.
If the current equilibrium maintains itself, it might aid BTC’s ascent and help it build a more robust support base between $25,000 and $26,000.
