Slightly over 75% of wallets on the bitcoin network remain in profit

---

More than 75% of addresses in the bitcoin blockchain remain in profit despite the price rollback of the cryptocurrency. This is the conclusion reached by the analysts of the Glassnode resource. As the price of bitcoin falls below $ 50,000, about 76% of the addresses are in profit. It is noteworthy that the same volume of addresses was in profit this summer, when the price of the cryptocurrency was ~ $ 32,000.

According to analysts, the preservation of this percentage of addresses in the black is due to two reasons:

1. A group of short-term investors sold off assets at the peak of the price, but some continue to move despite the losses;
2. Long-term investors who bought Bitcoin in the summer are still holding the cryptocurrency.

However, even Hodlers may run out of patience. Experts have noted a drop in on-chain activity over the past two weeks, which suggests that investor interest is reaching “a point of depletion at current prices.”

According to Glassnode, the rush of retail investors played against the market. As you can see in the chart above, the first hit of the price correction fell on the beginners. Having reached a maximum in November, investors began to incur losses of $ 50-100 million per day. Analysts believe that the realization of losses is a consequence of the rush of retail investors who bought cryptocurrency at the maximum.

Earlier, the editors reported that only 0.01% of bitcoin hodlers control about 27% of the cryptocurrency turnover. According to estimates by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the top 10,000 wallets account for about 5 million BTC. This amount is estimated at ~ $ 244 billion.
