Crypto analyst Ali Martinez's recent tweet has brought attention to a notable trend in Bitcoin (BTC). Despite Bitcoin's price holding steady around $26,000, there has been a surprising surge in new BTC addresses. This development is being viewed as a significant bullish divergence from an on-chain perspective.
One of the indicators highlighting this bullish trend is the record number of addresses now holding 0.1 or more Bitcoin, which has reached an all-time high of 4,487,486. Additionally, the number of non-zero Bitcoin addresses has also hit a historic peak of 49,138,848. These statistics suggest growing interest and participation among investors in the Bitcoin market, even in the midst of price perturbation.
