Glassnode's latest analysis suggests that Bitcoin has built a strong foundation below the $30,000 level, and the current supply structure shows similarities to early 2016 and early 2019. The report shows that the Long-Term Holder (LTH) supply is just shy of a new all-time high with a total supply balance of 14.161 million BTC. In contrast, short-term holders (STH), who acquired coins after FTX failed, have seen their supply balance of 2.914 million BTC remain relatively constant in 2023.

A hacker who stole 120,000 ETH tokens, worth above $321 million at the time, from the Wormhole cross -chain bridge has started moving funds, according to various on -chain analysts.
