One positive on-chain data point that raises the chances of a Bitcoin breakout is the increase of whale addresses. Analysts at Santiment said that Bitcoin whales have continued to accumulate despite the increase in the price of the asset: “The whales of #Bitcoin (1,000+ $BTC addresses) haven’t stopped accumulating, while the mid-tier traders (10-1,000 $BTC) haven’t stopped taking profit as its price hovers around $38,000. Meanwhile, the small addresses have been #FOMO’ing back in rapidly!”
Adding a boost to the Bitcoin, A Bitcoin exchange traded fund for investment firm Accelerate Financial has been approved in Canada. This makes it the first officially approved Bitcoin ETF in North America after the Ontario Securities Commission gave the green light for the institutional product.
