Analysts also explained that the decrease in the active address ratio indicates the absence of buying and selling of the asset, “this indicates a phase of market consolidation.”
IntoTheBlock expert Juan Pellicer believes that Bitcoin’s update to its all-time high was due to institutional players, not retail investors.
In addition, he believes that the drop in activity comes as investors prepare for the market’s whales to start moving. He noted that Mt. Gox plans to begin making payments to creditors in July 2024.
