Bitcoin Surges To $65K: Whales And Spot ETF Demand Drive Momentum

Bitcoin has officially crossed the $65,000 mark for the first time since August 1, marking a significant milestone in its price recovery.

This surge can be largely attributed to continued accumulation by whales and sharks, who have collectively purchased $4.08 billion in Bitcoin over the past six months, preventing sustained declines in price.

The United States is reclaiming its position as a dominant player in Bitcoin holdings, with its share rising compared to other countries. This increase is fueled by heightened demand for Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), further solidifying the interest of institutional investors. It’s important to note that only known entities are included in this analysis.

As Bitcoin steadily rises, the number of holders in profit is also climbing. If BTC manages to hold above $65,000, it’s anticipated that over 90% of holders will find themselves in profit— a scenario reminiscent of July when Bitcoin failed to reach new highs after a similar price surge.

Bitcoin is steadily climbing, and with it, the number of holders in profit.

If $BTC breaks $65k, well over 90% of holders will be in profit; a level we last saw in July, when Bitcoin ultimately failed to reach a new high.

The question now is: will this time be different? pic.twitter.com/hs156tGzfy
