Investors still in an accumulation phase
A report from the analysis firm Glassnode , published yesterday, indicates that investors are still in the accumulation phase , which explains this new record for the price of BTC.
Last week, more than 5,000 BTC ($ 341 million at the current rate) were withdrawn from exchange platforms: a sign that the tendency is to hold on to bitcoins rather than spend them.

And the trend could last, according to Glassnode:
” The market is probably still in a discrete accumulation phase , punctuated by a measured activity of large withdrawals of exchange platforms and strategic spending very small s by experienced owners. “
The analysis firm also notes that activity on the blockchain does not reach the frenzy that surrounded the last bull runs. This could suggest a certain maturation of the market , the number of daily transactions remaining lower.
