Updated: Jan 08 2026- Demand Strengthens: On-chain data from CryptoQuant reveals that net accumulation from Accumulator Addresses has surged to approximately 320,000 BTC, marking a new all-time high, despite Bitcoin's ongoing price correction, indicating robust demand from long-term holders.
- Structural Market Shift: This metric highlights that Accumulator Addresses represent the lowest probability sellers in the ecosystem, effectively reducing market circulation and future sell-side pressure, thus reflecting a structural change in demand.
- Accumulation Not Indicative of Selling: A slowdown in accumulation does not imply selling; the coins absorbed by these addresses remain dormant, continuing to influence supply dynamics, suggesting that this metric should be viewed as a lens into demand composition rather than a direct market signal.
- Transition to Stored Value: Overall, the data suggests Bitcoin may be transitioning from a highly traded asset to a stored asset, dominated by long-term holders in marginal supply, yet a comprehensive analysis must include ETF flows, institutional participation, and macroeconomic conditions.
