Glassnode has revealed in its May 3, 2021 newsletter that on-chain data shows bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) hodlers remain confident that the bull season is not over yet despite the latest dip in the price of the world\u2019s flagship crypto. Demand for stablecoins like tether (USDT) and others has continued to increase as they remain the choice base trading pair for traders.<\/strong><\/p>\n Indeed, the 2021 cryptocurrency bull season is one like no other in the history of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, as institutional investors have continued to pump in hard currency into the markets, sending the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to record highs. And if Glassnode\u2019s \u201cWeek On-Chain” newsletter for Week 18, 2021, is anything to go by, the march to the moon is far from over despite the current BTC price correction.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the <\/span>report<\/span>, on-chain data for bitcoin (<\/span>BTC<\/span>), the world\u2019s number one cryptocurrency, and ether (ETH), the world\u2019s largest altcoin, show that investors are spending less and hodling more, as they strongly believe that the cryptoassets price increase is yet to reach the peak.<\/span><\/p>\n The researchers wrote:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSince April 8, more coins have been maturing than were spent, and this metric hit a 6-month high of 96.5k BTC maturing per month. The total BTC supply held by LTHs has also started trending higher after a period of net distribution and spending. This metric further reinforces that on aggregate, more coins are remaining dormant and hodled by strong hands, than are being spent by long term hodlers (LTHs) to realize profits.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n For those who are unaware,\u00a0 Glassnode classifies coins held in wallets for more than 155-days as Long Term Holder\u00a0 (LTH) coins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Notably, the analysts have also revealed that the increase in hodlers activity is also having a positive effect on stablecoins like tether (USDT), as these less-volatile cryptoassets have become the preferred base trading pair across the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n Tether\u2019s (USDT) outstanding supply has increased by $1.48 billion this week, taking its total minted supply to over $51.78 billion. In the same vein, USD Coin (USDC) supply also increased by roughly $1 billion in the past week, while other stablecoins like Binance USD (BUSD) and DAI have also increased significantly.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAs the total supply of stablecoins increase, it suggests an increased \u2018buying power\u2019 of crypto-native capital that can quickly be exchanged and traded into bitcoin and other cryptoassets,\u201d Glassnode added.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/span>Hodlers Conviction Very Strong\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
