A recent survey has shown that the accumulation of whales in the Bitcoin (BTC) market is currently progressing at a rate similar to the movement observed before the bull run in 2020.
According to a weekly report from CryptoQuant released on May 6, the survey indicates that there are daily inflows of $1 billion into Bitcoin, along with a significant increase in whale holdings, reminiscent of the activity seen in mid-2020. The data reveals a consistent growth in demand for the largest cryptocurrency, with traders adding 70 BTC tokens in the past month.
The report states, “Bitcoin demand from long-term holders has increased by 70,000 Bitcoins in the last 30 days. Demand from large investors is growing by 4.4% monthly. Additionally, large investors are injecting $1 billion daily into Bitcoin, similar to the pre-rally activity in 2020.”
Furthermore, the report highlights a notable increase in purchases of US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with holdings rising from 819K to 859K.
