As of January 13, 2025, stablecoin inflows have nearly stalled, with the market cap stabilizing at $189.1B and the 30-day net change down to +0.56%.

This marks a stark contrast to the November to December 2024 rally, when $27.35B in inflows (+16.9%) drove BTC from $67.8K to $106.1K (+56.5%), reaching a +10.67% 30-day net change at its peak.

By comparison, the January to March 2024 rally added $14.68B (+11.5%) in stablecoin liquidity, as BTC surged +74.5% to $69.5K. The fact that the late-2024 rally required almost 2x the capital inflow for a smaller price gain underscores the speculative demand and liquidity-driven momentum that has since cooled.

In total, $65B entered the space via stablecoins in 2024 - an amount comparable to the annual GDP of Lithuania.

The U.S. Department of Justice is cleared to sell 69,000 BTC - worth over $6 billion.

With Glassnode, you can track government-held Bitcoin wallets and estimate the potential market impact if this kind of sell-side pressure occurs.

Putting it in perspective
In July 2024, the German government sold 56,000 BTC, but instead of collapsing, the market rallied from $53k to $68k.

However, past large inflows have had different results:
🔸 March 2021: 70.5k BTC inflows, NUPL at 0.72 (Euphoria/Greed)—short correction, then recovery.
🔹 June 2022: 68.7k BTC inflows, NUPL at 0.21 (Capitulation)—a prolonged bear market followed.

Bottom line: Market reactions depend heavily on where we are in the cycle.

With Glassnode’s US Government Balance metric, you can set alerts to be notified when coins move - helping you stay ahead of potential sell-offs.

Despite Bitcoin’s impressive rally last year, MVRV levels above 3.2 - typically associated with extreme euphoria - haven’t been reached this cycle yet. If BTC were to hit this level, it would correspond to a price tag of ~$132K.

📊 Historically, BTC price has spent only ~5% of trading days above this threshold, reinforcing why it’s viewed as a rare "extreme euphoria" zone.

Will MVRV reach 3.2 this cycle? While momentum remains positive, with MVRV still above the 1-year MA (currently 2.18), one of the key questions is whether this trendline will plateau in the coming weeks - making MVRV momentum an important metric to monitor.

🔹PAAL: Profitability at 1.06 with moderate profit-taking (0.55) suggests cooling sentiment, with holders cautious about securing returns.
🔹PHA: Profitability of 0.90 but with significant profit-taking (1.17), indicating an increased desire to lock in profits.
🔹BOTTO: Heating up at 0.95 profitability and low profit-taking (0.27), showing a trend of investors holding rather than cashing out.

Perpetual Market Lagging Behind Momentum

Despite Bitcoin's strong rally from $93.5K on Jan 1 to $102.4K today, the Perpetual Funding Rates for the top 5 assets remain below neutral (0.01%):

BTC: 0.009%
ETH: 0.01%
SOL: 0.006%
XRP: 0.01%
DOGE: 0.011%

This suggests perpetual markets are lagging behind the current positive market momentum.

The STH MVRV ratio for Bitcoin currently sits at 1.1, indicating that short-term holders are, on average, 10% in profit. This metric helps gauge the sentiment of recent market entrants, who tend to be more speculatively minded and react quickly to price volatility.

This year, the MVRV ratio for STHs peaked at 1.44 in March, dropped below 0.8 in September marking a local bottom, and reached the high of 1.35 in November.

It often pays off to watch the neutral level of 1 as it tends to act as support during uptrends but can flip to resistance if decisively broken, signaling a shift in sentiment.

In terms of price, the MVRV of 1.0 currently corresponds to a short-term holder cost basis of $87K. According to Cost Basis Distribution (CBD) data, there is an "air pocket" of demand between $87K and $71K. This potentially makes the $87K a make-or-break level for the short-term price action.

Ethereum Spot ETFs saw $2.05B in net inflows during December – the highest monthly total since inception. However, this influx of institutional capital wasn’t enough to shield ETH from downside volatility. The ultimately closed the month with a -10% loss.
https://glassno.de/3DI1mfy

Bitcoin Spot ETFs brought in $4.63B in December, well above the 2024 monthly average of $2.77B. Inflows were heavily concentrated in the first half of the month, while the second half saw outflows – with one notable exception on December 26. Despite reaching a new all-time high above $108K, BTC closed the month with a -3% performance.

1/ Cost Basis Distribution (CBD): A Key Insight for Investors

CBD measures the total Bitcoin supply held by addresses with an average cost basis within specific price ranges.

Key Observations:

- A dense cluster of supply exists between $88.1K-$103K.

- Since mid-December, we've been hovering near the lower band ($88.1K).
$98K buyers remain notably resilient despite market fluctuations.

- This region acts as a critical zone of interest for price action.

📊 https://glassno.de/4iWs04a

2/ The Air Gap: $70K-$88.1K

Above the dense cluster lies an "Air Gap" between $70K-$88.1K – an area with significantly lower supply concentration.

📉 Implication:

If the market enters a prolonged price contraction phase, this zone could act as a bottom discovery region, attracting new buyers eager to accumulate Bitcoin at a relative discount.

Keep a close eye on these levels—they hold the key to market resilience or deeper corrections.

This metric acts as an indicator of the rate and direction of capital inflows or outflows for these assets.

Diminishing Momentum on Solana 📉

During the recent market downtrend, the monthly rate of change in Realized Cap for SOL has plunged below both BTC and ETH.

This indicates a faster decline in momentum for Solana compared to the other two assets.

The Week On-Chain 51, 2024
Bitcoin continues trading above the psychologically important $100k price level, supported by a consistent inflow of capital. Long-Term Holders are capitalizing on this liquidity, taking the opportunity to distribute supply at scale, setting a new ATH in profit realized of $2.1B.

Executive Summary
- Bitcoin’s price trajectory shows striking similarities across cycles despite vastly different market scales and dynamics.

- With price trading above $100k for weeks, Long-Term Holders are distributing supply, setting a new ATH in realized profit of $2.1B.

- Most profit-taking comes from coins aged 6m-12m, while older coins remain relatively dormant.

- New investors now hold a larger share of network wealth, reflecting robust demand and a shift away from longer-term HODLers.

Solana vs Ethereum: Probing into the Demand Side

We can gauge demand-side momentum by tracking capital rotation via new investor activity, also known as Hot Realized Cap. The Hot Realized Cap measures the capital held by accounts active in the last 7 days.

1/ Solana Hot Realized Cap

For Solana, the positive market momentum coincided with a surge in its Hot Realized Cap starting in early October 2023.

📊: https://glassno.de/3BwmMvk

2/ Ethereum Hot Realized Cap

Unlike Solana, Ethereum's Hot Realized Cap did not see a significant spike off the 2022-2023 bear market floor. This demonstrates how demand for Solana outpaced Ethereum for most of 2024.

📊: https://glassno.de/3VHfhbE

3/ Demand Shift: SOL vs ETH

However, the recent period of ETH outperforming SOL has coincided with a surge in ETH's Hot Realized Cap starting in early November 2024.
New demand is clearly returning to ETH.

Looking at price performance, SOL outpaced both ETH and BTC for most of Q4 2024. However, since early December, ETH has taken the lead, outperforming the other two assets.

30-day performance:
ETH: +26.96%
BTC: +17.49%
SOL: +1.61%

A clear shift in momentum. 📊 https://glassno.de/4ggZUiw

Analyzing the weekly Realized Cap—a proxy for capital flow—SOL expanded faster than BTC and ETH until early December (over +5%).

Since then, BTC has taken the lead, with ETH outpacing SOL:
BTC: +1.89%
SOL: +1.11%
ETH: +1.03%

Bitcoin Spending Power Law: A New Predictable Framework
Glassnode's new research reveals how Bitcoin holder behavior follows a power-law decay, offering a groundbreaking perspective on coin age and spending probabilities.

Executive Summary
- Spending probability drops by a factor of 10 for every tenfold increase in coin age, creating a measurable and predictable pattern.

- Coins held for over 3-4 years rarely move, signaling either strong conviction or potential loss.

- A simple heuristic predicts with 98% accuracy that coins younger than 7 days will move, providing actionable short-term insights.

This framework enables investors to segment holders into behavior-driven cohorts and track market sentiment with greater precision.

📊 Bitcoin Market Cycle Update

Current ROI:
Here's how #Bitcoin’s ROI since cycle low compares to the last two cycles so far:

🔸 2015-2018: 5.90x
🔸 2018-2022: 10.47x
🔸 2022+ (current): 5.98x

The current cycle is 26.94% below the average ROI of the last two cycles (8.18x), highlighting the challenges of sustaining exponential growth as liquidity needs increase.

Bull Market Volatility:
Here’s how this bull market’s corrections compare to the previous cycles:

Average Drawdowns:
🔹 2022+: -7.68%
🔹 Overall: -16.24%

Max Drawdowns:
🔹 2022+: -26.25%
🔹 Overall: -71.15% (2011-2013)

This cycle stands out as the least volatile, with the mildest corrections compared to its predecessors.

Bitcoin’s evolution continues, balancing reduced volatility with steady growth as the market matures and becomes more institutionalized. 📈

Glassnode

10 Dec, 15:22


Bitcoin’s market cycles are marked by a gradual transition of wealth from long-term holders to short-term holders. This dynamic is playing out similarly in the current cycle but with additional nuances due to the influence of spot ETFs:

As long-term holders are typically defined as those holding Bitcoin for at least 155 days, many early ETF-driven buyers now fall into this category.

🔹 Spot ETF buyers, who began accumulating heavily early in the year, swelled the 6-12 month cohort to 25% by August. Since October, this group has reduced to 16%, possibly due profit-taking by these newer market participants.

🔹 A more concerning trend is the decline in the 1-2 year and 2-3 year cohorts, which represent seasoned holders who accumulated during the June-November 2022 market bottoming phase. Their distribution suggests we are transitioning toward the later stages of the cycle.

🔹 Holders from the 3-5 year cohort remain relatively stable at ~13.9%, indicating that these holders don’t yet seem incentivized to sell.

Following a flurry of consistent new ATHs, Bitcoin is just a stone's throw away from reaching a price of $100k per coin. Explosive price action tends to result in a significant increase in the unrealized profit of holders, and Long-Term Holders are ramping up their distribution in response.

Executive Summary
- As the Bitcoin price rallied towards $100k, Long-Term Holders commenced distributing over 507k BTC, which remains less than the 934k BTC sell-side during the March rally but is significant nonetheless.
- Long-term holders are locking in sizeable profit volumes, setting a new ATH of $2.02B in daily realized profit.
- When assessing the composition of which entities are spending, the majority of this sell-side pressure appears to originate from coins aged between 6 months and 1 year.

During the recent rally to $99.4K, Long-Term Holders’ Net Position Change dropped to -366K BTC/month, marking the highest selling pressure since April 2024. This signals significant profit-taking by LTHs, but it's important to examine which sub-groups within LTHs contributed to this.

Looking closer, 6m-12m holders led the activity, spending 25.6K BTC/day (7D-MA). Their cost basis, estimated at $57.9K (71% below market price), explains the incentive to capitalize on the rally. This aligns with natural behavior for intra-cycle holders like ETF-related buyers from earlier this year.

Key takeaway: Most selling pressure came from buyers in the $50K–$60K range, indicating intra-cycle LTHs drove profit-taking. There was minimal sell-off by OG long-term holders, whose behavior typically signals deeper shifts in market sentiment.

Bitcoin continues to relentlessly establish new ATHs, supported by robust capital inflows from both ETFs and the Spot Market, with over $62.9B entering the market over the last 30 days. As the market proceeds to heat up, Long-Term Holder spending begins to rise in tandem.

Executive Summary
- Bitcoin’s rally to $93k has been fuelled by robust capital inflows from both ETFs, and spot markets. Over $62.9B has entered the market over the last 30 days, with BTC dominating the demand inflows.
- Elevated unrealized profits among long-term holders have triggered significant spending activity, with 128k BTC sold between 8-October and 13-November.

Solana recently saw a massive spike in on-chain transfer volume, reaching approximately $224 billion in a single day - almost three times the market cap of SOL at $76B! This surge was apparently driven by a single wallet controlling multiple accounts, likely operated by a bot.

- From an On-chain perspective, all sub-age-groups within the Short-Term Holder cohort now hold an unrealized profit, likely a tailwind for market sentiment.

- The demand side of the market has declined notably since the March ATH, with investor attention thinning as the market chops sideways within this price range.
- On the supply side, available coins are also constricting, with several measures of ‘active supply’ compressing to relatively low levels.
- Historically, tightness in the Bitcoin supply side has been a precursor for a regime of heightened volatility.
- It often describes an equilibrium being reached between the wealth held by new demand and existing HODLers, which tends not to last for very long.

Following a 10% price correction, the Bitcoin market has rebounded back to the $63k level, in an attempt to reclaim the critical Short-Term Holder cost-basis.

Executive Summary
- Bull Market Drawdowns remain relatively shallow but in line with historical bull market uptrends. This highlights both the similarities and the relative resiliency of the current cycle.
- Both Short-Term Holder positioning and their spending behaviour have largely improved as the spot price attempts to reclaim the Short-Term Holder cost-basis at $62.5k.
- A significant amount of Futures Open Interest remains in place, which may expose the market to deleveraging and liquidation cascades if significant volatility breaks out.

For the first time since the ATH, Bitcoin has established a new technical higher high, as price bounced into the $66k region. Alongside this, there is a multitude of critical on-chain metrics that have also set higher highs, making this an interesting moment in time.

Executive Summary
-
Bitcoin’s cyclical price performance shows a striking similarity across the last three cycles, with the index at nearly the same position.
- Long-term Holders holding BTC in loss have risen, as coins bought near the $73k ATH pass the 155-day mark.
- However, the unrealized loss for these investors is minimal, indicating little financial pressure on portfolios.
- Short-Term Holder profitability has improved in the recent rally, bringing relief to recent buyers.
- US ETF investors’ conviction remains strong, with only minor sell-side pressure despite being below their average inflow cost.

In the wake of the Federal Reserve's 0.5% interest rate cut, Bitcoin has reclaimed the Short-Term Holder cost basis of ~$61.9k. This rally could achieve technical significance if the price also holds above the 200-day moving average at $63.9k.

Executive Summary
- Bitcoin has reclaimed the Short-Term Holder cost basis ($61.9k) and 200DMA ($63.9k) following a 0.50% interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
- Short-term holders are under marginally less pressure as prices rise above their cost basis, after a period of net capital outflows.
- New investors show a degree of resilience, seen in realized losses being of a relatively small magnitude, suggesting confidence in the overall uptrend.
- The perpetual futures market displays a cautious recovery in sentiment, with gradually increasing demand but still below levels seen during strong bull markets.

The Bitcoin market is currently experiencing a period of stagnation, with both demand and supply sides showing signs of inactivity. The market is characterized by minimal capital inflows and outflows, as the stagnant Realized Cap indicates.

Executive Summary
- Market demand-side remains lacklustre for digital assets, with the magnitude of both capital inflows and outflows remaining small in scale.
- HODLing remains the primary investor dynamic, with all measures of actively tradable supply declining and large volumes of coins maturing into Long-Term Holder status.
- Price action has been remarkably stagnant over the past six months, driving all variants of the Sell-Side Risk Ratio to low levels, suggesting an expectation for higher volatility ahead.

The competitiveness of the Mining landscape and their conviction in the Bitcoin Network continues to rise, with the Hash Rate blasting towards new ATHs. However, investors remain unconvinced in the short term, with exchange-related on-chain volumes beginning to languish.

Executive Summary
- Hash Rate remains just shy of ATHs, as continued investment by Miners demonstrates immense conviction in the Bitcoin Network despite depressed revenues.
- Investor interactions with exchanges are in decline, with contracting volumes across the board, suggesting there is a diminished appetite for investors and trade.
- Both the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are exhibiting outflows, however, investor interest in the Bitcoin ETFs remain significantly larger in scale and magnitude.

The Bitcoin market continues to experience downwards pressure over recent months, despite the average Bitcoin investor remaining profitable overall. However, the Short-Term Holder cohort remains heavily underwater on their holdings, making them a source of risk for the time-being.

Executive Summary
- On average, BTC investors are holding relatively small unrealized losses compared to prior cycles, suggesting a relatively favourable position overall.
- However, Short-Term Holder unrealized losses remain quite elevated, indicating they are the primary cohort at risk.
- Profit and Loss taking activities remain remarkably light, with critical metrics such as the Sell-Side Risk Ratio alluding to a potential for heightened volatility in the near future.

The Week On-Chain 35, 2024
Market speculation remains relatively subdued for Bitcoin, with investors locking in only marginal profit and losses, and a reset across perpetual swap markets. Historically, periods of quiet and calm market structure are short-lived, and often precede an expectation for heightened volatility.

Executive Summary
- Net capital flows into the Bitcoin assets have markedly cooled, with only marginal profit and loss-taking events by investors.
- Loss-taking events are almost exclusively associated with the Short-Term Holder cohort.
- However, a significant proportion of supply held by this cohort is transitioning into Long-Term Holder status, having been held for at least 155 days.
- Speculation in the perpetual swap market has experienced a full reset, suggesting a cooling off of speculative interest and long-biased leverage.

Amidst tumultuous market conditions as of late, Long-Term Holders have been locking in a reasonably consistent $138M in profit per day. With each transaction, a buyer and a seller are matched, with supply and demand imbalances resolved via price changes.

Therefore, we can infer that this ~$138M/day in LTH sell-side pressure is a read for the daily capital inflows required to absorb supply and keep prices steady. While market conditions have been choppy, prices are generally flat over the last few months, suggesting a form of equilibrium is being reached.

Bitcoin, as the leading digital asset, continues to see its dominance expand, now commanding a staggering 56% of the total market capitalization. Supporting this, Bitcoin Long-Term Holders remain steadfast in their conviction, with significant accumulation pressure below the surface.

Executive Summary
- Since the cycle low established in Nov 2022, Bitcoin Dominance has continued to climb, now commanding 56% of the total crypto market capitalization.
- Despite tumultuous and choppy price action, the conviction of Long-Term Holders remains steadfast and unfazed, with a clear preference to accumulate and HODL coins.
- Short-Term Holders have carried the brunt of the losses during the recent downturn, however, the degree of locked in losses suggests a possible overreaction towards the event.
