Bitcoinâs moving out of Coinbase has been a consistent phenomenon over the last few months as retail investors face liquidity shortages with high institutional participation. This is very much evident as with over 100% gains in Q1 2021, Bitcoin has outperformed every other institutional asset class in recent times.
On the other hand, the percentage of Bitcoin supply held by whale addresses holding over 100K Bitcoin has surged by 200% (or 3x) during the first quarter. As on-chain data provider Santiment reports:
âThe percentage of #Bitcoinâs supply held by whale addresses with 100k or more $BTC has risen from 0.76% 11 weeks ago, to 2.20% today, an 11-month high. Meanwhile, the smaller 1k-100k $BTC addresses have dropped from 42.4% to 39.5% in the same 11 weeksâ.
