According to a May 14 post on X by crypto expert Ali Martinez, the data comes straight from Glassnode, a leading blockchain analytics firm. Ali highlighted that the market saw $35.05 billion in net inflows over the three‑week stretch.

The analyst broke it down further: roughly $16.64 billion headed into Bitcoin, and about $8.44 billion went into Ethereum.

Aggregate Market Realized Value Shows Surge

Based on reports from Glassnode, the chart’s grey bars represent total capital that enters and stays in wallets. Since mid‑April, those bars climbed steadily, then shot up after April 26. When bars grow, it means money isn’t just passing through exchanges—it’s being parked for the long haul. Long‑term buyers appear to be staking their claim, not flipping for quick gains. Bitcoin Drives The Flows

Bitcoin took the lead, soaking up roughly $16.64 billion of the total inflows. Its orange line on the chart trends upward in a steady, confident climb. That tells us buyers are still active and don’t see a reason to sell just yet. When big investors move cash, they often start with Bitcoin because it’s the most liquid and familiar asset in crypto. A strong net position change usually hints at bets on higher prices ahead. As of today, the market cap of cryptocurrencies stood at $3.24 trillion.

Ethereum didn’t stay on the sidelines. It picked up around $8.44 billion during the same period, shown by its purple line. While that line is flatter than Bitcoin’s, it still points to steady interest. Some investors may be waiting on final staking rules or watching gas‑fee shifts before committing more.

Yet, parked funds in ETH wallets also speak to a growing belief that its value will rise over time. At the same time, parked capital in both coins suggests institutions are gearing up for a potential rally rather than chasing quick profits.

There’s drama ahead. If inflows keep climbing but prices level off or slip, the market might be nearing a tipping point. Stablecoin issuance is another big factor—if issuers slow down, fresh inflows could dry up. And of course, any major regulatory move could send a shock through markets.
