What else is known? On April 17, Glassnode analysts reported that about 77% (14,8 million coins) of the total bitcoin volume is in the profit zone thanks to the asset crossing the $30 000 mark. Then BTC’s weekly yield reached 36% for the second time, again making it the most profitable asset in 2023.

The growth above $30 000 led to an increase in the number of bitcoin millionaires, with more than 50 000 new users owning more than $1 million worth of BTC in the first half of April.

CryptoQuant researchers believe that bitcoin could return to its all-time high ($69 000) as early as the first half of 2024. The company conceded that the asset is out of a bear phase, adding that institutional clients intend to invest in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the third and fourth quarters of 2023.
