The article cross-validates using three sets of data from Glassnode, Santiment, and CryptoQuant, proposing three future scenarios, providing a suitable reference framework for judging BTC’s current trajectory.
पूर्ण पाठ इस प्रकार है:
Bitcoin’s network activity has been weakening for six consecutive months, but this trend is not reflected in the core metrics that many traders first look at.
The clearer signal is not trading volume—which has remained largely stable—but the breadth of participation. Even as the network continues to process a similar number of transactions, the number of active on-chain addresses has been steadily declining.
In a market where price discovery increasingly occurs on ETFs and derivatives, this split is crucial. It means: Bitcoin’s on-chain footprint is narrowing, while market exposure remains active elsewhere.
As the bear market persists, this trend has become increasingly difficult to ignore.
Glassnode data shows that in mid-August 2025, the 8-day moving average of Bitcoin active addresses was approximately 778,680. As of February 23, this number has dropped to about 535,942, a decline of roughly 31%.
CryptoQuant has also flagged low network activity for six consecutive months, describing the current phase as a period of sustained weakness in on-chain participation.

The last time the market exhibited a similar pattern was in 2024—Bitcoin subsequently experienced a correction of approximately 30%.
This doesn’t guarantee a repeat now, but it reinforces a historical pattern: prolonged network weakness often coincides with phases of weakening market confidence.
Breadth Declines, But Throughput Hasn’t CollapsedBitcoin’s transaction count has not declined in sync with the number of active addresses.
In mid-August 2025, the average daily transaction count was about 444,000. Blockchain.com data shows the 30-day average is currently around 439,000.
Intraday data still fluctuates, ranging from about 289,000 to 702,000 transactions, but the overall throughput trend has not collapsed.
This divergence is key to understanding the current situation.
If transaction volume remains stable while active addresses decrease, it indicates that fewer entities are responsible for the same amount of on-chain activity.
This situation has multiple causes, none of which require a retail influx. अदला-बदलीs and custodians can batch withdrawals; large holders can consolidate transfers; institutional fund flows can be handled through fewer wallets; operational activities can also cause temporary spikes in transaction counts without representing a genuine return of users.
The result is: the chain still appears busy, but the underlying number of participants is shrinking.
This is why the decline in breadth is more telling than raw throughput. Stable transaction counts may mask a market where activity is increasingly concentrated among repeat traders, large institutions, and operational fund flows.
In this landscape, Bitcoin’s chain still functions normally, but the breadth of user participation it represents is becoming less genuine.
Blockchain analytics firm Santiment provides a more direct description from a longer time perspective.
The firm states that since February 2021, the number of unique addresses initiating Bitcoin transactions has decreased by 42%, and the number of new addresses created has decreased by 47%.
Santiment does not characterize this as evidence that क्रिप्टो is dead or that a multi-year bear market is locked in, but it does describe a bearish divergence that persisted through 2025—market capitalization rose while Bitcoin’s utility metrics weakened.
This tension is now evident in the six-month trend. Price and market narratives can continue, but the chain itself is becoming quieter.
Low Fees Point to Shrinking Block Space DemandFee data further confirms that Bitcoin’s Layer 1 is in a state of weak demand.
Data from mempool.space shows the network’s recent average transaction fee is approximately $0.24, equivalent to about 1.8 sats/vB.
For a network that experienced sustained block space competition during peak periods of past cycles, this is a low level. At the current transaction pace, this fee level implies the network’s daily fee revenue is less than $100,000.
In contrast, the block subsidy is still approximately 450 BTC per day, with fee revenue constituting a minimal portion.

This is not an immediate security issue, nor does it mean Bitcoin’s security model is under near-term pressure.
This is because the block subsidy still dominates miner revenue. But it does point to a long-term reality that Bitcoin has not yet been forced to confront at this stage of the cycle.
The topic of transitioning to a fee-supported security budget resurfaces every cycle, but in the current environment, this transition is not being tested—because fee demand itself is weak.
Practically speaking, the quiet fee market is postponing this discussion further.
The chain is not under pressure from sustained congestion, and users are not fiercely bidding to get their transactions included. This could change rapidly during volatility events, speculative waves, or new demand shocks, but it hasn’t happened yet.
For now, block space is clearly in a state of low usage compared to past bull market phases, aligning with the broader context of declining participation breadth.

CryptoQuant’s assessment also aligns with this fee environment—low network activity is typically associated with declining market interest in the asset and periods of widespread losses.
When interest wanes, new participants decrease, self-initiated transfers decline, and fee pressure subsides.
Bitcoin can still be actively traded as a financial asset, but the chain itself no longer reflects broad user participation.
Macro Environment and ETF Flows Are Changing How Bitcoin TradesThe macro backdrop helps explain why this trend persists.
Bitcoin is increasingly behaving like a macro-sensitive, high-beta asset, particularly standing out during risk-off periods.
Over the past year, US inflation has cooled, with the January 2026 CPI year-over-year growth rate at 2.4%; the Federal Reserve’s target rate range was cited as 3.50% to 3.75% at the end of January.
In a simpler market environment, cooling inflation might support a clearer risk asset rebound.
However, market attention is focused on multiple volatility catalysts—including uncertainty around tariff policies. This factor has driven sharp fluctuations in interest rates and the US dollar, keeping overall risk appetite persistently unstable.
In such an environment, both retail and institutional investors tend to reduce their operational frequency. Retail participation declines, trader turnover decreases. Institutions can maintain exposure but prefer adjusting positions through products that don’t require on-chain movement of coins.
This is precisely why spot Bitcoin ETFs have become the protagonist of a key narrative.
Coinperps data shows that US Bitcoin ETFs have seen net outflows for multiple consecutive weeks, with cumulative outflows of approximately $3.8 billion over the past five weeks and about $4.5 billion year-to-date.

This shifts activity from self-custody wallets to brokerage accounts.
It also explains how the market can remain active while the chain grows quieter. Exposure is still changing hands, but more of this turnover is happening off-chain.
This is a significant shift in Bitcoin’s role. It is increasingly resembling a financial product wrapped in an institutional shell, while Layer 1 is used more selectively for settlement, storage, and periodic transfers.
Meanwhile, the daily trading energy within the crypto space is increasingly concentrated elsewhere, particularly in stablecoins.
Coin Metrics identifies stablecoins as a core driver of on-chain activity, with the total stablecoin supply nearing $300 billion and transaction volumes continuing to climb.
If stablecoin rails on other chains absorb more daily settlement demand, Bitcoin’s Layer 1 naturally becomes more functionally singular.
This does not inherently weaken Bitcoin’s investment thesis, but it does change its form.
Three Scenarios for the Next Three to Six MonthsThe current six-month decline in network breadth outlines three possible paths for Bitcoin’s future trajectory.
The first is a continuation of apathy, which looks like the baseline scenario in a risk-averse market environment.
In this scenario, active addresses remain low (in the 450k to 600k range), transaction counts remain volatile but don’t collapse, fees stay low, and ETF flows remain flat or slightly negative.
Here, Bitcoin could still experience sharp volatility due to macro headlines, but on-chain participation does not confirm a broad recovery. The asset trades more like a macro instrument than a network entering a new expansion phase.
The second is a liquidity thaw, the more optimistic path.
If inflation continues to cool and easing expectations stabilize risk appetite, ETF flows could shift from net outflows to sustained net inflows. In this environment, growth in active addresses would become a key confirmation signal.
A rebound to 650k to 800k active addresses would signify that participation breadth is recovering, not just price momentum returning. This looks more like a classic cyclical recovery—price increases supported by growth in on-chain user participation.
The third is a structural substitution scenario, perhaps the most noteworthy.
In this scenario, Bitcoin’s price rises, but on-chain breadth remains persistently weak. ETFs, derivatives, and custodial settlements continue to dominate, while stablecoins absorb more trading demand elsewhere in the crypto space.
Here, Bitcoin increasingly resembles a digital macro asset and settlement layer, rather than a chain with broad daily retail activity.
This scenario would mark an evolution in Bitcoin’s role, reflecting the deep changes it has undergone compared to many years ago.

Bubblemaps stated that they discovered a linked address “2mQB8o” from Beaver’s public Solana address, which launched the token $SIAS on pump.fun. $SIAS rapidly reached a market cap of $6 million within 7 minutes of deployment, only to crash to zero just 10 minutes later after a large sell-off by the dev. After the crash, the token’s X account was also deleted. Based on further on-chain analysis, Bubblemaps pointed out that Beaver was not only the dev but also used four other addresses to snipe the token, making a total… # विश्लेषण# बिटकॉइन# क्रिप्टो# एक्सचेंज# मार्केट© 版权声明सरणी 上一篇 Crypto's New Path: Building the Next Generation of Permissionless New Banks 下一篇 Fan culture is becoming a differentiating variable in prediction markets 相关文章 From AI framework to x402, who will be “massively enriched” by the second wave of crypto AI? 6086cf14eb90bc67ca4fc62b 17,091 1 लॉम्बार्ड, चेनलिंक और सिम्बायोटिक ने रीस्टेकिंग के माध्यम से BARD टोकन की उपयोगिता को पेश करने और पहले क्रॉस-कंट्रोल प्लेटफॉर्म को लॉन्च करने के लिए साझेदारी की है। 6086cf14eb90bc67ca4fc62b 21,170 $300,000 Trump Gold Statue, a Crazy Memecoin Marketing Stunt 6086cf14eb90bc67ca4fc62b 8,939 1 Exclusive Interview with RaveDAO: With TGE just around the corner, how strong is the consensus formed through offline “p 6086cf14eb90bc67ca4fc62b 18,679 1 R2 Macro Outlook: Why the Next Round of Market Gains Belongs to Real Returns 6086cf14eb90bc67ca4fc62b 16,198 3 Exclusive interview with Offchain Labs CEO: Why did Robinhood choose Arbitrum? 6086cf14eb90bc67ca4fc62b 26,867 4 कोई टिप्पणी नहीं टिप्पणी करने के लिए आपको लॉगिन होना होगा! तुरंत लॉगइन करें कोई टिप्पणी नहीं... नवीनतम लेख UniSat Releases Phase Updates and Upgrades, Continuously Building the Bitcoin Ecosystem 20 घंटे पहले 722 Jack Dorsey’s Company: 4,000 White-Collar Workers Are Being Replaced by AI 20 घंटे पहले 674 Latest Stablecoin Report: Real Distribution and Flow Are Far More Important Than Supply 20 घंटे पहले 519 Sui DeFi’s “Three-Engine” Revolution: How New Capabilities, New Assets, and New Programs Are Building the Future of On-Chain Finance? 20 घंटे पहले 465 On-chain Investigator ZachXBT Confirms: Axiom Employees Exploited Internal Privileges for Insider Trading 20 घंटे पहले 473 लोकप्रिय वेबसाइटेंTempoLighterजीएआईबीग्लाइडरप्लांकरेल्सबीसीपोकरवूई Bee.com दुनिया का सबसे बड़ा Web3 पोर्टल भागीदारों कॉइनकार्प बिनेंस कॉइनमार्केटकैप कॉइनगेको कॉइनलाइव कवच बी नेटवर्क ऐप डाउनलोड करें और वेब3 यात्रा शुरू करें सफेद कागज भूमिकाएँ सामान्य प्रश्न © 2021-2026. सर्वाधिकार सुरक्षित।. गोपनीयता नीति | सेवाओं की शर्तें बी नेटवर्क ऐप डाउनलोड करें और वेब3 यात्रा शुरू करें दुनिया का सबसे बड़ा Web3 पोर्टल भागीदारों CoinCarp Binance CoinMarketCap CoinGecko Coinlive Armors सफेद कागज भूमिकाएँ सामान्य प्रश्न © 2021-2026. सर्वाधिकार सुरक्षित।. गोपनीयता नीति | सेवाओं की शर्तें खोज खोजइनसाइटऑनचेनसामाजिकसमाचार उत्तर: एयरड्रॉप शिकारी डेटा विश्लेषण क्रिप्टो हस्तियाँ ट्रैप डिटेक्टर हिन्दी English 繁體中文 简体中文 日本語 Tiếng Việt العربية 한국어 Bahasa Indonesia اردو Русский हिन्दी智能索引记录
