All Optimism Holders in Profit as OP Breaks All-time High: ITB
The token has seen a 44% increase in the past month and an 82% yearly rise, with a 24-hour volume of $782 million.
Every holder of OP, the native token of the Ethereum-based layer-2 scaling solution Optimism, is currently in profit following the asset’s surge past its all-time high.
According to data shared by crypto market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock, over one million addresses holding OP, including wallets that acquired the token at $4.01, are currently in the money. The feat comes as OP surges past $4.50, crushing a high of $3.54 recorded in February.
100% of OP Holders in Profit
Optimism was founded in 2019, but OP was launched in May 2022 with a portion of its supply airdropped to eligible users. Powered by roll-up technology, Optimism bundles large amounts of transaction data into digestible batches and is cheaper to use compared to Ethereum.
OP has seen significant growth in recent months, staying afloat as one of the top performers among large-cap altcoins. As of mid-January, when bitcoin (ETH) and ether (ETH) were worth $39,500 and $2,200, respectively, CryptoPotato reported that roughly 83% of OP holders were in profit. Interestingly, the token had witnessed a 20% price decline in the week leading to the report.
In addition, Optimism has recorded a significant uptick in its number of large transactions and addresses holding some amount of balance. The rate at which new addresses are created remains high, indicating strong user activity.
Amid the setting of a new all-time high, the market cap of OP has increased to $4.48 billion, making it the 27th largest by this metric. The token has seen a 44% increase in the past month and a yearly rise of 82%, with a 24-hour volume of $782 million.
An Imminent Altcoin Season?
Furthermore, the Optimism network is witnessing increased developer activity. In December, the network became one of the top ten crypto assets with significant GitHub commits, alongside Cardano, Polkadot, and Avalanche.
One notable development on the Optimism network is the release of its Bedrock hard fork, which enables the creation of a superchain comprising multiple blockchain networks that share the same software for increased security and interoperability.
Meanwhile, the latest surge in the value of OP substantiates analyst speculations that the crypto market may be at the onset of an altcoin season.

Walsh emphasized that the Federal Reserve is clearly committed to achieving price stability and does not support prematurely predicting the outcome of monetary policy meetings or disclosing possible policy actions for the remaining meetings in 2026 in advance. Inflation is not an issue unique to the United States. Currently, most regions around the world are tightening monetary policy simultaneously, which means no country can "free ride." Walsh also announced that the Federal Reserve’s Productivity and Employment Working Group will hold a field hearing in the San Francisco Bay Area on November 16 to examine a variety of issues, including the economic impact of artificial intelligence.
Will the expansion of U.S. Treasury repo become normalized? Will long-term bond issuance be reduced? Tonight, the U.S. Treasury Department will release a key signal.
Deutsche Bank pointed out that there are two key aspects to this survey: first, whether the expansion of long-term U.S. Treasury repo operations will become permanent; second, whether there will be a direct discussion about "eliminating 20-year U.S. Treasuries." Among them, the possible abolition of 20-year U.S. Treasuries is an extremely impactful potential topic. If this is explicitly addressed, it would be seen as a major policy signal from the Treasury Department in response to high yields, and is expected to trigger significant turbulence in the bond market.
