According to blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant, it was the largest inflow day for Bitcoin whales since Feb. 28, when spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were barely six weeks old and BTC approached a new all-time high.


Inflows into Bitcoin whale accounts hovered between 1,300 and 2,200 Bitcoin per day as Bitcoin fell from $71,650 on June 7 to around $69,000. The price plummeted again days later, leading to a massive day with 20,600 Bitcoin flowing into whale accumulation addresses on June 11.


The data hasn’t yet been updated for June 12, which saw Bitcoin’s price briefly spike after better-than-expected United States Consumer Price Index results. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for $67,500.Change in Bitcoin’s price and inflows into Bitcoin whale accounts over the last month. Source: CryptoQuant.


It comes as Bitcoin’s supply on cryptocurrency exchanges fell to 942,000 — its lowest level since Dec. 22, 2021, according to onchain intelligence platform Santiment.

Ether is down 8% from $3,815 on June 7 to $3,510 at the time of writing.
