The number of active Bitcoin addresses seems to have dropped significantly below 900,000 in June 2021 which is the lowest level since July 2020, according to data published by Santiment, the crypto analytics platform. Active Bitcoin Addresses Drops Since July 2020 Amid the ongoing bearish market trend, Bitcoin traders remain hesitant to pumping up their bags as the digital asset dropped below $30,000 during this week. Since then, the cryptocurrency has recovered some of its lost gains to jumping up above $34,000. However, bears are back to gripping the flagship cryptocurrency yet again by making the digital asset drop down below $32,500 today. With the bearish sentiments, the total number of active Bitcoin addresses has reached below 900,000 in June 2021, which is the lowest level since July 2020, according to data published by Santiment, the crypto analytics platform, adding: “Bitcoin is back at $32.4k after a rebound above a $34.6k high Wednesday. What remains to be seen is an uptick in address activity. On the 30-day rolling scale of daily active address scale, July 13, 2020, was the last time the BTC network was this low,” At the same time, Bitcoin’s fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) remain high as highlighted by Santiment: “Bitcoin’s fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) remain high, as traders are polarized on whether prices can push back below $30k again. For now, though, prices have jumped back on crowd fear. Markets move in the opposite direction of crowd expectation.” 📈 #Bitcoin's fear, uncertainty, and doubt (#FUD) remains high, as traders are polarized on whether prices can push back below $30k again.

A falling Bitcoin active address figure indicates a bearish undertone in the space. For instance, in 2017, Bitcoin saw a high above $19,587 on December 16 to below $6900 on February 5, 2018, the number of active addresses also fell from 1.284 million on December 14, 2017, to just 528,000 on February 25, 2018. At the same time, studies show that not all Bitcoin whales were affected by the price drop. In the past 25 days, Bitcoin addresses holding 100 to 10,000 BTC added a total of 90,000 BTC, accounting for nearly half of BTC’s circulating supply.
