美國現貨交易所交易基金 (ETF) 的比特幣 (BTC) 需求下降 90%：報告

自四月以來，比特幣的需求一直處於下降趨勢，在過去幾週內接近負值。

自四月以來，比特幣需求一直處於低迷狀態，最近幾週跌至負值。

根據數據分析公司 CryptoQuant 8 月 20 日的報告，數位資產的表觀需求急劇下降，從 4 月份的 30 天增長 496,000 比特幣（BTC）或 59,092 美元，降至目前的負增長 25,000 BTC .

Apparent demand is calculated by deducting the daily total Bitcoin block subsidy from the daily change in the amount of Bitcoin that has remained unmoved for one year or longer.

As expected, lower demand has had a negative impact on the cryptocurrency’s price. Bitcoin's price fell from roughly $70,000 in April to a low of about $51,000 in early August. However, the cryptocurrency is still up 33% year-to-sqate at the time of writing.

The slowdown in demand is said to be driven by a decrease in purchases by United States spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which fell from 12,000 BTC in March to an average of 1,300 BTC between Aug. 11 and Aug. 17.

The premium for BTC trading on Coinbase reached 0.25% in early 2024, soon after the launch of the ETFs. Since then, the premium has been declining, currently at 0.01%, further indicating slower demand for BTC in the U.S.

“A recovery in spot ETF purchases is key to driving overall Bitcoin demand upwards, potentially leading to a corresponding price rally,” the analysis noted.

Holders keep stacking sats

Despite the institutional slowdown, permanent BTC holders have been taking advantage of the lower prices to buy BTC at never-before-seen rates.

The total balance of permanent holders — addresses that have never spent or sold any Bitcoin — is increasing at a record-high monthly rate of 391,000 BTC. “Demand from permanent holders is accelerating even faster than it did in Q1 2024, when the price of Bitcoin rallied above $70K,” the report adds.

Whale addresses, or those holding 1,000–10,000 coins, on the other hand, decreased their total holdings. According to the analysis:

A monthly growth rate of over 3% in whale holdings correlates with rising Bitcoin prices.
