Bitcoin’s realized‑cap growth driven mainly by existing holders as new inflows lag
Glassnode data show that in the 30 days to Oct. 5 Bitcoin attracted about $4.9 billion of new capital, while its realized capitalization rose $12.8 billion. Existing investors supplied three‑fifths of that increase and short‑term holders captured more than 80 % of profits above $85,000. The price hovered near $83,000, with 86 % of exchange inflows that day coming from short‑term holders.
Why it matters
Glassnode notes that the rally depends on existing holders rather than fresh capital, implying limited new inflows could restrain further price gains.
