The number of active Bitcoin addresses has shot up by over 105% this year, according to Coin Metrics’ data.
In its latest ‘State of the Network’ report, released today, the crypto data site said that the number of active addresses this year doubled to hit 1.2 million.
Over the course of 2020 BTC added over $300B to its market cap. The amount of daily active addresses doubled, and the number of addresses holding at least 0.01 BTC grew by over 700k. pic.twitter.com/4dHpdkiAHF

Why’s this important? It’s evidence of a healthy market. The healthiest since 2017. More active addresses means that more people are using the cryptocurrency—or at least buying it up.
Coin Metrics put Bitcoin’s success this year down to institutional investors flooding the market, with Square, MicroStrategy and PayPal all getting stuck in.
The number of active addresses on the Bitcoin blockchain hit 1.18 million yesterday, reaching similar heights to those seen during Bitcoin's 2017 bull run. As pointed out by Hans Hauge, head of quant strategy at Ikigai asset management, yesterday's spike was the seventh highest number of active addresses in Bitcoin's history. He was referring to data from crypto data site Coin Metrics. "Wow, there were a lot of BTC Active Addresses in use yesterday. 1,188,873 to be precise. That's the 7th highe...
“Soon after [institutional investors invested] Bitcoin’s price began to rise,” the report said. “In a quickly changing world, Bitcoin is increasingly being endorsed as a hedge against inflation and form of digital gold.”
Coin Metrics also noted that over $300 billion was added to Bitcoin’s market cap this year and the number of addresses holding at least 0.01 BTC grew by over 700,000.
The site added that the biggest cryptocurrency by market cap will continue to grow next year.
“In many respects, bitcoin is in its strongest position yet closing out 2020,” the report said. “As momentum continues to build, bitcoin is on the verge of reaching unprecedented heights in 2021.”
Bring on 2021.

Bitcoin miners continue to feel the crunch, with firms in the space selling more coins than usual to make ends meet. Data firm CryptoQuant said in a Tuesday report that miners last week stepped up their selling as the price of the biggest cryptocurrency dropped below $80,000. The firm said that on April 7, miners sold a total of 15,000 BTC—the third-largest daily outflow this year. That's at least $1.12 billion worth, based on the day's low price of less than $75,000. Increased market volatil...
A rallying yen and the highest Japanese bond yields in 30 years are sending warning signals across global markets, and Bitcoin may not be spared. This week, Japan’s 30-year bond yield jumped to 2.345%, its highest level since 1994, while the yen rallied to around 153 against the U.S. dollar. Goldman Sachs analysts led by former Bank of Japan (BOJ) chief economist Akira Otani believe that the bank may be nearing a policy pivot amid the yen’s rally. If the yen strengthens further toward 130/USD, t...
Decentralized exchange (DEX) KiloEX has suspended operations following a $7.5 million attack, which cybersecurity researchers attributed to a “price oracle exploit.” KiloEX launched in 2023, built on BNB Chain, opBNB, and Manta Network, and has received seed funding from Binance Labs, which invests in the Binance Coin (BNB) ecosystem. In a tweet, the DEX reassured users that the exploit has now been contained. KiloEX said it is “working with security partners to trace the flow of funds” and that...
