The top wallet among these is an address controlled by the Huobi crypto exchange. It holds 12.46 BTC, worth about $792,000 at current rates. This address has transacted more than 1.59 million transactions, representing 0.77% of all Bitcoin transactions.Bitcoin Address 1HckjUpRGcrrRAtFaaCAUaGjsPx9oYmLaZ. Source:BitInfoCharts


Seventy-eight of these addresses belong to F2Pool, a Bitcoin mining pool. The largest among them holds 2.47 BTC worth about $172,737. The rest are believed to belong to a mix of retail and institutional investors, and it is almost impossible to differentiate between the two.


According to BitInfoCharts, 82 of the top 100 have never seen a transfer in and out of the wallet in 2024.

This number has increased steadily over the last year, suggesting a growing confidence in the network and the overall strength of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
