According to Glassnode’s data, the 24-hour moving average of new Bitcoin addresses hit 24,807. This shows that, on average, that many addresses were created on the blockchain for each of the last 24 hours. For some of the hours, it would have been even higher.
The last time a comparable number of newly created wallets appeared on the network within the same time frame was in mid-January 2018. This was just after Bitcoin reached its all-time high of $20,000 the previous month.
At the same time, the amount of new addresses does not directly translate into the number of new users, since any crypto enthusiast can create thousands or millions of Bitcoin addresses. In fact, it’s usually recommended to use multiple addresses for privacy and security reasons.
According to Glassnode, there are now a total of 32.5 million Bitcoin addresses with a non-zero balance. This has been continually rising since March 2018 after a sharp drop in January 2018.
Generally, as the number of Bitcoin addresses and its price continues to rise, this shows that the network is growing and there are (likely) more users.
A closer estimate of the number of users can be seen by the number of active addresses. This number is around 850,000 addresses. It has been on the rise since late 2019 but is still lower than at Bitcoin’s peak in 2017.
And as many commentators have pointed out, Google search trends haven’t yet picked up for the search term “Bitcoin.” This suggests that, if another big wave of new interest is coming, it isn’t at full force yet.
Meme coins are down bad. Dogecoin (DOGE) is down 60% from its 2024 high, Pepe (PEPE) has dropped 73% from its all-time high, and Dogwifhat (WIF) has plummeted 88% from its peak. Not only that but the trenches are drying up too. Popular launchpad and cultural hub Pump.fun launched 64.6% less tokens on Wednesday than it did during its high achieved in January. Alongside this, according to Dune data, the weekly graduation rate of tokens is the lowest it's been since July 2024—a token graduates when...
Comedian William Banks went viral after posting a video of what he claims showed him escaping prison on social media, shortly before he went on a spree of “rug pulling” Solana meme coins. Banks told Decrypt his goal was to be a Robinhood-like “hero” and donate $50,000 of the proceeds to charities supporting those suffering in Palestine following Israel's attacks on Gaza—sharing purported receipts of these payments on X. In October, the comedian was charged and arrested in Westport, Connecticut...
Hacking group Crazy Evil created a fake Web3 company dubbed "ChainSeeker.io" to trick crypto industry job seekers into downloading wallet-draining malware. The group set up LinkedIn and X profiles advertising standard crypto industry jobs, like “Blockchain Analyst” or “Social Media Manager,” according to cybersecurity website Bleeping Computer. The Russian-speaking group, known as Crazy Evil, also took out premium advertisements on websites like LinkedIn, WellFound, and CryptoJobsList to boost...
