Despite the recent declining market performance, the rise of over 100 BTC addresses highlights increased confidence in the long-term potential of Bitcoin, which is often considered a bullish indicator. This is because the development could reduce the amount of Bitcoin in circulation, thus causing long-term price increases.
Alphractal data reveals that while number of addresses With more than 100 BTC has increased significantly in recent days, the number of addresses with more than 10,000 BTC has been gradually decreasing. This cited change within an accumulation period is consistent with the overall market optimism about the cryptoasset’s potential.

Meanwhile, cryptocurrency exchanges, funds, whales and long term investors or holders are the top owners of wallet addresses with more than 10,000 BTC. “There may be other possibilities, but in general, the major exchanges have the largest BTC addresses in terms of quantity,” Alphractal added.

As a result of increasing shark activity, many Bitcoins have moved from larger wallet addresses to smaller ones, such as those with 100 BTC or more.
