๐๐ Hold on to your hats, BTC enthusiasts! A Q3 2023 on-chain report by IntoTheBlock reveals that addresses holding at least 0.1% of bitcoin's supply experienced strong net inflows throughout the quarter. These wallets recorded a single-day inflow of $600 million, despite BTC plunging to $25,000! ๐ฐ๐ช
๐ This indicates a quiet build-up of strong interest, with three other spikes of more than $400 million in net inflows. Interestingly, these inflows occurred while centralized exchanges saw outflows, suggesting organic buyers are behind the activity. ๐ฑ
๐ฎ However, the patience of these holders may be tested if the SEC delays decisions on Spot Bitcoin ETF applications. Meanwhile, on-chain metrics show the number of long-term BTC holders is growing, comparable to a cycle seen in 2017 that led to massive price appreciation in 2020. ๐
๐ CryptoPotato predicts this growth in long-term holders will have significant consequences in 2024, kicking off a bull cycle that soars into 2025. With only about two million bitcoins left to be mined, we could be on the verge of a supply shock that massively impacts bitcoin's value! ๐
