On the other hand, on-chain data provider Santiment also reported that the âmillionaire tierâ whale addresses holding between 100-10000 Bitcoins have added a massive quantity recently. The data provider said:
Bitcoin whales holding between 100 and 10,000 $BTC continue accumulating since the May plummet that shook out many weak hands. These addresses have now accumulated 130,000 more $BTC in the past 5 weeks, and 40,000 more in just the past 10 days.
On the other hand, the Bitcoin address activity has picked up once again with the number of unique addresses interacting with the Bitcoin blockchain network hitting a three-month high. Bitcoin is certainly setting up the tone for a strong bounce-back of the overall crypto market. Hopefully, BTC can continue this momentum ahead.
