Bitcoin Price Crash Warning From Crypto ExpertJuan Pellitzer, senior analyst at IntoTheBlock, explained the drop in activity on BTC portfolios with less retail participation than in previous cycles.
He stated:
This year's march to a new all-time high was fueled by institutional capital, not retail investors. The broader economic situation may have influenced retail investors to make fewer investments in cryptocurrencies than in the past.
According to him, much of the bearish trading activity takes place off-exchange, which does not significantly affect the on-chain activity statistics of addresses.
