Bitcoin Sees 1 Million BTC Increase Amidst Market Turmoil

An increase of 1 million BTC in holdings among Bitcoin short-term holders since August is evident. Analyst Axel Adler Jr notes this growth reflects ongoing investor interest despite prevailing market volatility. CryptoQuant data highlights this 24.7% rise in holdings, reaching 5.4 million BTC in total.

Despite notable gains, these holders face realized losses. Immediate effects include continuing market caution, fueled by recent sharp downturns and substantial ETF outflows. Over a billion dollars exited Bitcoin ETFs in a single day, pointing to heightened risk aversion.
