In recent months, the crypto market has shown clear signs of change — but different from previous cycles. Instead of retail excitement and altcoin explosions, we see a quieter and more strategic movement, mainly by large institutions.

Check out the key points:

📉 Scarce and held Bitcoin

Only 13% to 14% of the circulating Bitcoin is available on exchanges — the lowest level in 6 years. Nearly 70% of BTCs have not moved in over a year, indicating long-term investor retention. Large wallets (more than 10 BTC) bought over 83,000 BTC in the last weeks of May. Companies like MicroStrategy, Metaplanet, and institutional ETFs hold over 1.6 million $BTC, about 8% of the total supply.

✅ What does this mean? Less Bitcoin to sell = lower supply = possibility of maintaining high prices even after exceeding $71,915,690,592,100.

🧠 Lower risk of decline

The MVRV-Z Score, an indicator that measures unrealized profit, has fallen even with BTC above $71,915,690,592,100. It’s not a prediction, but it shows less pressure for mass selling, as the market is not experiencing excessive profits in the short term.

🪙 Ethereum on the rise

Only 10% of $ETH is on exchanges; the rest is in staking or long-term wallets. Over 34 million ETH (28%) are locked in staking, reducing the circulating supply. In May, ETH appreciated 50%, compared to 33% for BTC. Managers like BlackRock are preparing Ethereum-based ETFs.

✅ Conclusion: Lower supply + institutional entry show that Ethereum is gaining prominence in this new phase of the market.

📌 For beginners: Don’t invest just for hype or quick promises. Study fundamentals, on-chain data, and understand the risks. The market is more mature but volatile. Information is your best protection. It’s not luck, it’s preparation.
