Popular data provider Santiment has tweeted that, while Bitcoin reached a new all-time high earlier today and touched the $58,400 level, the volume of Bitcoin on-chain transactions keeps rising.
Bitcoin on-chain volume matches that of January 2018
Santiment analytics team has taken to Twitter to announce that, while the world's flagship cryptocurrency has tapped another consecutive all-time high of $58,355, the volume of Bitcoin on-chain transactions continues to rise.
As per the tweet, the recent daily average value was close to $28 billion, which is similar to the on-chain BTC volume seen in January 2018—the period after Bitcoin hit $20,000 for the first time and the start of the so-called crypto winter that lasted for about two years.
As for the previous all-time high, on Saturday, Bitcoin sprang above the $57,000 mark.
On-chain transfers are verified and recorded on the blockchain. Off-chain transactions refer to purchases of small things with cash or spending money via payment systems such as PayPal.
Bitcoin exchange outflow volume hits one-month high
Another analytics aggregator, Glassnode, has reported that several other Bitcoin on-chain fundamentals have also improved and are showing a rise.
According to its tweet, the value of Bitcoin moving out of crypto exchanges has hit a one-month high of $102,299,130.40.
On Sunday, this high totaled $102,157,190.39.
Now, financial institutions and retail holders are withdrawing BTC into cold storage vaults and experts are expecting a Bitcoin liquidity crisis soon.
In the meantime, the number of Bitcoin wallets making a profit has spiked to a one-month high of 99.4 percent, and the number of non-zero BTC wallets has hit an all-time high of 35,502,504.
So far, 2021 has been good for Bitcoin as more and more big financial institutions are getting into it.
Tesla has bet $1.5 billion on BTC, and MicroStrategy has raised another $1.3 billion from shareholders to purchase more Bitcoin.
The amount of crypto assets under the management of Grayscale Investments now totals $40 billion, which is a double rise since the start of the year.
