Markets, Bitcoin, Markets, Glassnode, market analysis, News Long-term holders have been selling their BTC as U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs see continued inflows.
The profit-taking activity on the Bitcoin network intensified on Monday, keeping bitcoin’s (BTC) spot price under pressure on the final day of the second quarter.
The total amount of realized profits on-chain rose to $2.4 billion, with its seven-day average climbing to $1.52 billion, the highest since the second half of May, according to data tracked by blockchain analytics firm Glassnode.
“That’s above the YTD average of $1.14 billion, but still well below the ~$4 billion-$5 billion peaks (7D SMA) seen in Nov–Dec 2024,” Glassnode said on X.
The realized profit metric represents the total USD value of all coins moved on-chain whose price at their latest movement was higher than the price at their previous movement.
