Bitcoin Worse As BTC Hodlers Lose $10 Billion In One Week

 


Data from on-chain analytics firm Glassnode confirms that November 2022 saw the fourth-biggest BTC sale ever.


Bitcoin investors see billions in losses

In the current edition of the weekly newsletter "The Week On-Chain", Glassnode has dealt with the impact of the FTX situation on BTC investors.


The mixed results: on the one hand, a major loss of confidence has led to loss-making outflows of funds, on the other hand, there has also been "strong accumulation".


However, it is a tough time for people getting into BTC in the current conditions.


"One event that almost always drives the transition from a bear market back to a bull market is the dramatic realization of losses as investors give up and capitulate on a large scale," Glassnode explained.


“November saw its fourth-largest capitulation ever with a 7-day loss of $10.16 billion, four times larger than the December 2018 peak and 2.2 times larger than March 2020."

The dollar capitulation can be explained by BTC/USD being five times higher than at the end of 2018 and 4.5 times higher than in March 2020. However, it is also clear that the crypto market has become scared since the collapse of FTX .


As Cointelegraph reported, hodlers held 50 percent of BTC supply with an unrealized loss right after the event .


Glassnode referred to Bitcoin’s Adjusted Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio. This indicator shows that coins moving on-chain are reaching loss levels rarely seen before. Glassnode describes this as "peak under-performance", i.e. a peak for poor development.


The so-called Adjusted MVRV ratio is the ratio between the market value of BTC and its realized value, minus the earnings impact of coins that have been dormant for seven years or more.


“This indicator is currently showing a reading of 0.63 (average unrealized loss of 37 percent). This is quite significant given that only 1.57 percent of trading days in Bitcoin history have had a lower Adjusted MVRV value.” it says in the newsletter.


"In other words, if we subtract the profits held by the probable lost supply, the market is currently the lowest it has been since the pico bottoms in December 2018 and January 2015."

Despite the previous losses, the hodlers have been aggressively buying up BTC ever since. These purchases came from all group sizes, from the smallest "shrimp" to the largest whales .


"By comparison, the strong recent accumulation following the recent sell-off is similar to that seen in late 2018," Glassnode said.


He added that similar black swans in Bitcoin's past, including recent events like the collapse of Terra, have prompted similar investor reactions.


In a chart of this, you can see that the seven-day moving average (MA) of the Accumulation Trend Score represents the current conditions in purple. That signals mass accumulation. Yellow, on the other hand, indicates a mass distribution of BTC in the market.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
