Merlin Chain and BitcoinOS have joined forces to launch a Zk-powered bridge that aims to enhance cross-chain interoperability, facilitating faster and more secure transactions within the Bitcoin ecosystem. - Bitcoin’s Hashrate Reaches 692 Eh/s, Nearing 700 Eh/s Milestone
Bitcoin’s network continues to grow stronger, with the hashrate reaching an impressive 692 Exahashes per second (Eh/s). This indicates an ever-growing security layer for Bitcoin transactions as miners push the network toward a new milestone.
Miner Status
- CEX Deposits
CEX deposits saw an increase, with 212,000 BTC entering exchanges. This uptick suggests rising liquidity but also signals potential selling pressure as more coins are being moved to exchanges. - MVRV Ratio
The MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) Ratio stands at 1.92, up from 1.79. This suggests that Bitcoin is somewhat overvalued, as the market price is higher than the realized price. - Puell Ratio
The Puell Ratio is currently at 0.58, indicating increased profitability for Bitcoin miners. This metric compares miner revenue to historical norms, showing favorable conditions for mining.
Insights
- aSOPR Rises to 1.02
The Adjusted Spent Output Profit Ratio (aSOPR) has risen to 1.02, indicating that more investors are selling Bitcoin at a loss, reflecting short-term bearish sentiment in the market. - Exchange Inflow Jumps to 212K BTC
Bitcoin exchange inflows have increased from 190,000 BTC to 212,000 BTC. This rise in exchange deposits often correlates with an increase in sell pressure, as more BTC becomes available on the market. - MVRV Ratio Trends Upward
The rise in the MVRV Ratio from 1.79 to 1.92 implies that Bitcoin’s current price may be overvalued relative to its historical average, which could suggest potential market correction. - Puell Multiple Sees an Increase
The Puell Multiple, now at 0.58, has grown from 0.70. This indicates higher profitability for miners as their revenues are on the rise compared to the long-term average.
Conclusion
Bitcoin’s network continues to strengthen, with its hashrate nearing the 700 Eh/s mark and increased mining profitability reflected in the Puell Ratio. However, the surge in CEX deposits and rising MVRV ratios suggest caution as the market might face selling pressure in the near future. Regulatory advancements, like the UK’s recognition of crypto as personal property, signal a positive trend for Bitcoin adoption on a global scale.
