According to Deep Tide TechFlow news, on August 20, Glassnode published an analysis indicating that investors holding positions for over a month (excluding day traders) have recently engaged in significant profit-taking, leading to signs of contraction in the crypto market. Several mainstream crypto assets experienced notable peaks in profit realization during July-August 2025.
BTC recorded over $1.5 billion in profit-taking on July 18, the largest scale since December 2024. ETH reached a profit realization peak of $575 million on August 16, indicating that long-term holders are avoiding risks. SOL followed closely, realizing over $105 million in profits on August 17, marking a new high since early 2025.
At the same time, XRP's profit-taking surged to $375 million on July 24, exhibiting a distribution pattern similar to the rebound in December 2024. TRX reached a historic profit realization level of $230 million on August 6, reflecting the sell-off pressure faced by altcoins in general.
