🚀 Short-Term Bitcoin Holders Accumulate Over 4 Million BTC
#Bitcoin #BTC #ShortTermHolders #Cryptocurrency #MarketTrends #PriceSurge #Investing #LongTermHolders #ProfitTaking #BullMarket
According to CoinDesk, short-term bitcoin (BTC) holders have significantly increased their holdings, adding 1.5 million BTC since September. This brings the total to over 4 million BTC, with an average monthly accumulation of approximately 300,000 BTC. During this period, bitcoin's price experienced a notable surge from $60,000 to $109,000 before retreating below $100,000. Glassnode defines short-term holders as those who have held bitcoin for less than 155 days.
Historically, bitcoin's price tends to reach its peak when short-term holders exhaust their buying momentum, leading to a slowdown in price appreciation. This pattern has been observed in previous bull market cycles, notably in 2013, 2017, and 2021. During these cycles, short-term holders held significantly more bitcoin at the peaks: 5 million BTC in 2013, 6.2 million BTC in 2017, and 4.6 million BTC in 2021. In comparison, the current holdings of 4 million BTC are relatively low, suggesting that new market entrants may continue to accumulate, indicating potential for further growth in the cycle.
Meanwhile, long-term holders, defined as investors who have held bitcoin for more than 155 days, have distributed 1.2 million BTC during the same period. This distribution reflects significant profit-taking following bitcoin's strong rally since November. The ongoing offloading by long-term holders has been a major factor contributing to bitcoin's stalled price action since mid-November.#Bitcoin #BTC #ShortTermHolders #Cryptocurrency #MarketTrends #PriceSurge #Investing #LongTermHolders #ProfitTaking #BullMarket
🚀 Solana's Inbound Bridge Volume Surges Over $10 Billion
#Solana #InboundBridgeVolume #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain #USDcoin #Ether #Wormhole #deBridge #BridgeActivity #DefiLlama #SOL #USDC #ETH
According to Cointelegraph, Solana's inbound bridge volume has reached an impressive milestone, surpassing $10.1 billion since 2021. This marks a significant 114% increase from its total volume of $4.7 billion as of February 2024. The data, presented by analyst h4wk on a Flipside dashboard, highlights the growing activity within Solana's crypto bridges.
USD Coin (USDC) emerges as the most-bridged asset within the Solana ecosystem, boasting an all-time inbound volume of $3.9 billion and an outbound volume of $4.7 billion. Ether (ETH) follows closely with approximately $2 billion in both inbound and outbound volumes. Solana's native asset, SOL, ranks third with $1.5 billion inbound and $1 billion outbound volume. The Wormhole bridge remains the most-utilized platform for bridging on Solana, with an all-time volume of $7.3 billion, although it has experienced a slight decline over time. This has allowed its competitor, deBridge, to gain ground, surpassing Wormhole by 12% in weekly volumes in February.
Data from DefiLlama indicates that Solana's bridges experienced relatively lower volumes during the first ten months of 2024. However, a surge occurred from November 2024 to January 2025, with volumes exceeding $6 billion. In November alone, Solana bridges recorded a monthly volume of $1.1 billion, followed by $2.5 billion in December and $3.2 billion in January. Despite these impressive figures, Solana's bridge volumes remain modest compared to the Ethereum network, which recorded a staggering $38 billion in bridge volumes during the same period. Ethereum's bridge volume remained robust throughout 2024, with its lowest monthly performance in April, reaching $5.1 billion.
The data underscores Solana's growing prominence in the blockchain space, although it still trails behind Ethereum in terms of bridge volume. As the blockchain ecosystem continues to evolve, Solana's increasing bridge activity reflects its expanding role in the broader cryptocurrency landscape.#Solana #InboundBridgeVolume #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain #USDcoin #Ether #Wormhole #deBridge #BridgeActivity #DefiLlama #SOL #USDC #ETH

According to Odaily, Hong Kong is implementing a new regulatory framework for cryptocurrency exchanges, with only nine licensed exchanges currently operating, primarily serving professional investors. Hong Kong Legislative Council member Ng Kit Chuang announced that the region will introduce a licensing system for over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency trading this year. The new system will require OTC platforms to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations under the Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance.
Licensed entities will be permitted to conduct spot trading between virtual assets and fiat currencies. They must also register and monitor business wallets and transaction records. The Customs Commissioner will act as the regulator, responsible for license approval, routine inspections, investigating violations, and imposing penalties. Violators could face fines of up to HKD 1 million or two years of imprisonment.
Regarding KYC certification, the government suggests verifying customer identities, assessing and recording the purpose and nature of customer transactions, and continuously monitoring trading activities.#HongKong #Cryptocurrency #RegulatoryFramework #Exchanges #OTC #AML #KYC #SpotTrading #VirtualAssets #FiatCurrencies #Compliance #Licensing #CustomsCommissioner #FinancialRegulation
