Number of Bitcoin holders to trend upward
Recent reports indicated a growth in the number of Bitcoin addresses, indicating an increasing user base joining the network. The ongoing surge in stablecoin accumulation could potentially contribute to further growth in the user count.
Another metric that is likely to experience an uptick once the accumulation begins is the number of holders. According to data from Santiment, the total number of holders has been steadily increasing since the beginning of the year. Notably, the chart suggested that more holders were added as the price of BTC rose. Currently, the total number of holders is nearly 48 million, showing no signs of a downward trend as of this writing.
