Overall, Bitcoin’s network added a little over 24,500 addresses with non-zero balances on Thursday, coinciding with BTC’s variable price action – from around $37,200 to below $34,500, followed by a rally back towards $40,000.
Data resource Ecoinometrics divided the addresses into two groups: one that holds less than 1 BTC, and the other that holds anywhere between 1,000 BTC and 10,000 BTC, noting that both groups have been “buying the Bitcoin dip,” saying.
The prospect of higher inflation could also increase with the Ukraine-Russia conflict leading to higher commodity prices globally even though the US Federal Reserve is set to tighten policy next month.
