Institutional Investment May Be Behind Boom in Bitcoin Whale Wallets

2021-1-19 19:13

The Bitcoin bull run may just be beginning, and Glassnode data indicates that institutional investors and high-net-worth investors are leading the charge.

On Jan. 1, 2020, there were 2,118 wallets with a balance of over 1,000 BTC. On Dec. 31, 2020, that number had grown to 2,268, a 6.9% increase.

That data alone looks promising to those building a case for further upward price momentum. However, from Dec. 1, 2020, to today, growth in these high-net-worth wallets has exceeded 7.2%.

There were 2,259 of these wallets at the start of last month compared to 2,421 today, a major increase in just six weeks.

This data was brought to light by Arcane Research, an analytics firm that posted their data on Twitter ahead of a wider report due for release tomorrow.

Arcane measured wallet growth from Jan. 1 to Dec. 1, 2020, showing 6.7% growth in more than 1,000 Bitcoin wallets.

Arcane’s Head of Research, Bendik Schei, spoke to Crypto Briefing to provide more details on the findings.

“The number of addresses holding at least 1,000 BTC has skyrocketed lately, and there are no signs of whales selling their bitcoin,” said Schei.

The Arcane Research report may point to big players entering the market, and Schei stated “it is not unreasonable to assume that this is institutional buying.”

Schei offered an alternative explanation, saying the data could be partially due to large players in the space restructuring their holdings. However, this seems unlikely.

“We have not seen any particular signs of this activity based on Glassnodes numbers,” said Schei.
