<p>In a striking display of confidence, Bitcoin holders, often referred to as “hodlers,” have significantly increased their positions over the past month. Data from on-chain analytics platforms reveals that these long-term investors have collectively added substantial Bitcoins. Approximately $23 billion worth of BTC have been added to their holdings in just 30 days.</p>
<p>CryptoQuant founder and CEO Ki Young Ju recently shared his insights on the social media platform X, <a href="https://x.com/ki_young_ju/status/1820926833325457760" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stating</a>, “I’m pretty sure something is happening behind the scenes.” Ju went on to make a bold <a href="https://x.com/ki_young_ju/status/1820934983113961671" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">prediction</a>, suggesting that within a year, various entities such as traditional finance (TradFi) institutions, companies, governments, and other organizations “will announce that they’ve acquired Bitcoin in Q3 2024.” This forecast aligns with the growing trend of institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies, particularly BTC, as a hedge against inflation and a store of value.</p>
<p>As the Bitcoin ecosystem evolves, the actions of these committed hodlers and <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/is-bitcoin-aiming-for-price-recovery-amid-mounting-selloffs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">sell-offs</a> may play a crucial role in shaping the asset’s future. Their unwavering belief in Bitcoin’s potential, as evidenced by this substantial accumulation, could serve as a stabilizing force in an otherwise turbulent market.</p>

<p>Earlier this week, the price of the leading cryptocurrency crashed <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/will-bitcoin-price-recover-to-the-60k-level-after-recent-dip/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">below</a> $50,000 due to the global stock market crash. As a result, market sentiment plunged back into extreme fear territory.&nbsp;</p>
<p>At press time, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a> is currently trading at $56,856 marking a 1.84% increase. The 24-hour trading volume stands at $47 billion, reflecting a 41.49% decrease. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 36.03, suggesting that Bitcoin is in the oversold territory.</p>
<p>According to Bitwise CIO, <a href="https://experts.bitwiseinvestments.com/cio-memos/the-crypto-market-sell-off-what-happened-and-where-we-go-from-here" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Matt Hougan</a>, the recent crypto crash is seen as a potential catalyst for Bitcoin’s growth. Moreover, he believes that the market’s downturn can clear out weaker assets, allowing BTC to gain strength. Key reasons for this optimism include institutional interest, regulatory clarity, and Bitcoin’s fundamental resilience. Despite the crash, these factors are expected to help Bitcoin thrive in the long run.</p>
