This has prompted analysts to consider whether a controlled bull market is now underway, mentioning “Unlike in March and December 2024, on-chain data indicating market overheating shows that the market still hasn’t reached an overheated state.”
Bitcoin investors have realized an unprecedented $3.5 billion in profits within 24 hours, marking the largest daily profit-taking event this year, according to Glassnode’s on-chain data.
This surge in realized profits is primarily driven by long-term holders, who accounted for over half of the total gains, signaling strategic market repositioning amid evolving demand dynamics.
Mid-to-long-term holders—those holding for three to five years—realized $849 million in profits, followed by seven to ten-year holders with $485 million.
 
Institutions “didn’t flinch” as Bitcoin fell by $7,000. Bitcoin institutional investors are adjusting their approach to reacting to sudden BTC price fluctuations.
Solana Rises in RWA Race With 140% Growth in 2025. Tokenized assets on Solana rose 140.6% year-to-date to $418M, outpacing the broader RWA.
The migration of major Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) projects to Solana represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of blockchain technology and its intersection with physical infrastructure.
The latest data reveals that XRP has surged past the $3 mark. More importantly, the number of wallets holding at least one million XRP tokens is on the rise, and their collective balances are increasing significantly.
The current environment contrasts sharply with previous crypto bull cycles driven by hype. This rally appears data-backed, institutionally supported, and gradual.
The signals are mixed but consistent. On-chain activity is rising, profits are being realized without collapse, and institutional flows remain strong. While volatility is inherent, the data suggests this phase of the cycle may be more sustainable than prior bull runs.
Whether this is a prelude to a broader surge or a plateau before another reset, the current structure points to maturity—and possibly the beginning of a controlled bull market across Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP.
