The report stated, “Bitcoin demand among long-term holders has resulted in an addition of 70 thousand Bitcoins in the last 30 days. Large investors are increasing their demand by 4.4% monthly. Moreover, these investors are injecting $1 billion daily into Bitcoin, mirroring the pre-rally activity seen in 2020.”
Furthermore, the report highlighted a significant increase in purchases of US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with holdings rising from 819K to 859K.
