Glassnode says Bitcoin buyers from higher price levels are now selling

Glassnode data shows selling pressure in the Bitcoin market is coming from investors who bought at higher price levels. Two holder groups are currently underwater, according to the data: investors who bought 1 to 2 years ago at $97,000, and those who bought 6 to 12 months ago at $89,000. The analysis also says investors who entered during the 2025 rally are now selling the largest amount of Bitcoin on a daily basis. By contrast, buyers who accumulated during market declines are still showing a stronger willingness to hold and have not been selling at scale. The figures point to a split in holder behavior, with recent high-price entrants taking losses while dip buyers remain comparatively steady.

According to the summary cited by Techub News, the report examined the relationship between investor behavior and crypto market data.

Cleveland Fed study finds crypto ownership is driven more by return expectations than demographics

A new study from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland found that cryptocurrency investors differ sharply from traditional asset investors in how they make allocation decisions. Cited by Cointelegraph, the paper, titled Do You Even Crypto, Bro? Cryptocurrencies in Household Finance, drew on multiple rounds of U.S. household survey data, with each round covering as many as 25,000 households. The researchers said expectations for future crypto returns explain ownership decisions better than demographic factors such as age, income, or gender. Crypto holders expected an average one-year return of about 22%, compared with roughly 7% among non-holders, and they also tended to view crypto as less risky. The paper found that every 1 percentage point increase in expected crypto returns was associated with about a 0.8 percentage point rise in the likelihood of holding crypto. In a separate randomized information experiment, simply showing respondents Bitcoin’s gains over the past 12 months raised planned crypto allocation by around 2 percentage points and increased the probability of an actual purchase by about 2.5 percentage points.
