BTC Accumulation Grows In July

Amidst the 900,000 surge in the US Spot Bitcoin ETFs holdings, BTC has seen a significant spike in accumulation . This growth is likely driven by the recent shift in BTC’S bearish trend , possibly sparking an increase in investors’ demand for the cryptocurrency.  According to reports from a crypto analyst identified as ‘Crypto Capex,’ on X, BTC accumulation into Spot Bitcoin ETFs has intensified significantly in July, while the availability of BTC on exchanges continues to dwindle. 

Glassnode has also disclosed a notable increase in the BTC accumulation trend , which surged from 0.05 on June 1 to 0.44 by July 10. Based on the data, the number of BTC whales holding at least 1,000 BTC rose from 1,640 on July 1 to 1,643 on July 10. This move highlights the growing demand for BTC in July.
