Bitcoin on exchanges plummets
Around March 2020, the percentage of Bitcoin supply held on exchanges peaked at over 16%. However, after that period, it entered a decline phase characterized by a few upward trend bounces followed by an overall decrease.
As of this writing, the percentage of BTC held on exchanges had decreased to 5.80%. As a recent Santiment post highlighted, this level represented the lowest point BTC has experienced since 2017.

Furthermore, despite this decrease, the Santiment chart revealed significant engagement from BTC whales. An examination of the chart revealed several instances of heightened whale activity, with the present count of whale transactions surpassing 1,100.
The continuous engagement of whales indicated that significant holders remained active in transactions, even in light of the ongoing price trends and exchange supply decline. This persistence also showed the existence of ample liquidity despite the overall decline.
Bitcoin active addresses see a bump
Between February and May 2021, Bitcoin experienced its peak in terms of active addresses, surpassing 20 million. Nevertheless, a decline followed this period, and throughout 2022, the number of active addresses remained below that threshold.
Around July 2023, a positive trend emerged, bringing the count of active addresses closest to the 2021 level. As of this writing, the 30-day active address metric was over 18 million. This development is expected, considering the year has also seen a notable influx of new addresses.
