Bitcoin’s latest bull run just minted a tidal wave of profit-takers—because why hold when you can cash out?


The Great Bitcoin Cash-Out

As BTC punched through its all-time high, traders dumped $3.5 billion worth of bags faster than a Wall Street banker dodging accountability. Classic crypto volatility? Or just smart money playing the game?


Market Whiplash in Real Time

The sell-off spree proves one thing: even in a rally, greed has an exit strategy. Meanwhile, hodlers shrug—another day, another 10% swing. Just don’t ask the SEC to make sense of it.


The Takeaway

Crypto’s relentless boom-bust cycle rolls on. Profit today, FOMO tomorrow. Rinse. Repeat. (And good luck explaining those capital gains to your accountant.)

Bitcoin Realized Profit

The bulk of the selling came from long-term holders, who accounted for approximately $1.96 billion, or 56% of the total. Short-term holders contributed the remaining $1.54 billion, roughly 44% of realized gains.

Realized profit reflects the total value of coins moved on-chain where the sale price exceeded the last recorded purchase price. It serves as a reliable indicator of investor intent, especially during volatile market phases.

Following the wave of profit-taking, Bitcoin’s price declined by around 4% in the past 24 hours, falling from above $120,000 to approximately $116,000 as of press time. The drop reflects investor reaction to Bitcoin’s new all-time high, which came amid growing Optimism across the broader crypto market.
