Difficult to anticipate the trajectory of Bitcoin without using conjectures. But some signals no longer leave room for doubt. By crossing on-chain data, ETF flows, the reduction in the costs and the movements of the Whales, a clear diagram is taking shape. A redistribution of cards is underway. The BTC, formerly Domaine des Curieux and des daring, seems to become the most powerful hunting ground. So what follow -up for the crypto queen?

In short
- The number of Bitcoin active addresses drops to 692,000, level below the statistical threshold.
- Transfer volumes are climbing $ 10.3 billion, powered by market whales.
- Bitcoin transaction costs drop by 17 %, revealing the disengagement of small carriers.
- ETFs record a billion dollars outing, marking a clear institutional break.
Bitcoin: crypto fracture between whales and small carriers
The gap is widening. This week, the BTC network saw the number of active addresses drop to 692,000. Or a drop of 2.2 %below the lower statistical threshold. During this time, The on-chain volume jumped 7.8 %reaching $ 10.3 billion. Who continues to move so much? The Whales, of course.


Transaction costs plunged 17 %, a sign of a massive disengagement from retail. Less pressure on the blocks, therefore less movements coming from the little ones. And the trend is similar on the institutional side: American Crypto ETF record $ 1 MD of net outputs.
As Glassnode sums it up:
On-chain demand has weakened as the activity has dropped, profits have faded and prudence grew up among traders and institutions.
Fear also wins the wallets. The NUPL increases to 5 %, the share of the supply for profit drops to 91 %. The euphoric feeling evaporates, slowly but surely.
Crypto strategies: whales prepare their offensive in silence
In market hollows, strategies are taking shape. The apparent calm is a facade. For informed actors, each bitcoin withdrawal is an opening. They advance without noise, but with method.
The five signals of a strategic Crypto repositioning:
- Addresses active at the lowest: 692,000 on the network;
- Increased volumes despite the fall: $ 10.3 billion exchanged;
- Decrendy costs: -17 %, a network that breathes;
- Negative ETF flows: $ 1 billion withdrawn in a week;
- NUPL at 5 %: End of speculative euphoria.
Glassnod's report supports this change:
The market structure has gone from euphoria to fragility. The spot and the future display a weakened momentum, the options indicate a need for coverage, and the flows of ETF reveal institutional prudence.

Even the Realized Cap indicator confirms this slow accumulation. Its 3.2 % increase shows a moderate, but stable recovery. Behind the scenes, the levers adjust, the plans are trace. When the rebound will come, they will already be in place.
While Bitcoin now seems captive of strong hands, another dynamic deserves attention: during brutal falls, billions migrate BTC to Ethereum. The Whales move their tokens, testing new playgrounds. What if the next Crypto momentum was preparing elsewhere?
