🪙 Bitcoin's 'Illiquid' Supply Soars to New All-Time High Near 15M Tokens

The illiquid supply of Bitcoin, which refers to the number of bitcoins that are held in wallets and are unlikely to be sold, has reached a new all-time high of nearly 15 million tokens. This indicates that a significant portion of the total Bitcoin supply is not readily available for trading or spending, as it is being held by long-term investors or users who are not actively participating in the market.

The high level of illiquid supply suggests a growing level of scarcity and potential for increased price volatility in the Bitcoin market, as the available supply for trading and transactions is reduced. This development is likely to be of interest to Bitcoin investors and analysts, as it provides insights into the overall market dynamics and the potential impact on the price and adoption of the cryptocurrency.

Grayscale has filed to convert its existing Solana Trust (GSOL) into an exchange-traded fund (ETF), making it the fifth asset manager to do so.

🚨 Traders See Even More Bitcoin Buying Pressure as BTC Sets New Record at $103K

Spot BTC ETFs in the U.S. saw $533 million in net inflows on Wednesday, with BlackRock's IBIT crossing $50 billion in net assets for the first time. Bitcoin has gained 50% in the past 30 days due to increased institutional demand, rising ETF inflows, improved sentiment, and optimism around the upcoming U.S. presidency. Traders expect the bullish momentum to continue, as Bitcoin's small market cap compared to other assets could attract more institutional investment.

However, some analysts warn of a potential market top and price correction to around $90,000. Bitcoin's surge past $100,000 represents a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency industry, with a favorable regulatory environment in the U.S. likely to drive further institutional adoption.

🪙 Mt. Gox Moves $2.8B in BTC Amid Bitcoin's Surge Past $100K

Mt. Gox moved a large amount of Bitcoin (BTC), worth around $2.8 billion, to an unknown address early on Thursday. This comes just three weeks after the exchange transferred 2,500 BTC to another unknown address. The exchange still holds over $4 billion worth of BTC.

These on-chain movements are likely related to creditor reimbursements, which were a significant source of bearish pressure on the cryptocurrency market this summer. The Mt. Gox trustee has postponed the deadline for creditor repayments by one year to October 31, 2025.

Despite these developments, Bitcoin's price has remained steady, trading above $103,000 at the time of writing. The movement of these large sums of BTC from the defunct Mt. Gox exchange has raised concerns and grabbed attention on cryptocurrency social media.
