According to BlockBeats, CryptoOnchain reported on social media that the realized miner inflows to trading platforms reached a historic peak of $1.87 billion in Bitcoin value on August 13, 2025. This marks the largest transfer of Bitcoin value by miners in history.
Two possible explanations for this significant movement are suggested. Firstly, miners may be capitulating under pressure due to rising operational costs and increased network difficulty, a scenario historically associated with cycle bottoms. Secondly, some miners might be strategically cashing in profits at local highs to prepare for potential market corrections.
Regardless of the reasons, the sharp increase in realized inflows highlights the scale of value transfer from miners to trading platforms. This could create substantial supply-side resistance, potentially suppressing upward momentum and increasing the likelihood of heightened market volatility.
