Non-Zero Bitcoin Wallets Increase by 3.7M, Hitting New ATH 47 Million

  • Glassnode reports a new ATH of 47.8M Non-Zero Bitcoin Addresses.
  • The figure represents a significant increase from the previous value.
  • Santiment observes fear-driven discussions surge as FOMC hikes rates.

In a recent tweet, Glassnode, a renowned provider of on-chain and financial metrics for cryptocurrencies, announced a remarkable milestone for Bitcoin (BTC). According to its data, the number of Non-Zero Addresses for Bitcoin has surged to an all-time high, reaching an impressive 47,857,099. 

This latest data from the analytics firm implies that over 47 million Bitcoin wallets have a balance of at least one satoshi —the smallest unit of Bitcoin. The figure represents a significant increase from the 44.06 million addresses the firm reported earlier this year. 

Furthermore, Glassnode displayed a chart showing the trajectory of these addresses over the last 13 years. The chart showed a positive progression dating from 2010 as the price of Bitcoin grew significantly over the years. 

Notably, the number of non-zero Bitcoin addresses is a metric often used to measure the adoption of Bitcoin. A higher number of non-zero addresses could indicate that more people are investing and holding on to Bitcoin.

On the other hand, the prominent market intelligence firm Santiment made a significant observation regarding Bitcoin. According to its tweet, the ratio of discussions revolving around Bitcoin compared to other top 100 assets has experienced a substantial surge. 

The firm attributed this noteworthy spike in social dominance to the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)’s decision to hike rates, causing Bitcoin to tease the $30k mark again. 

Analysts at Santiment have interpreted this surge in social dominance as a potential sign of fear among market participants. Interestingly, they suggest that such heightened levels of fear often correlate with an increased likelihood of a price rise for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin trades at $29,293.37 at press time, with a slight 2% decline over the last seven days.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

Image
“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
