Bitcoin Shrimps Accumulated Bitcoin During Bear Market Crashes
A recent post by Glassnode’s lead on-chain analyst, @_Checkmatey_, discusses the evolving behavior of small Bitcoin investors, known as “shrimps,” during this cycle. Shrimps are investors who hold less than 1 BTC in their wallets. The shrimp “net position change” is used to track the monthly increases or decreases in their combined supply. On-chain data reveals that these shrimps have been accumulating Bitcoin during bear market crashes, even surpassing the monthly supply of miners. They have also continued to accumulate throughout the bear market lows and the recent rally. Currently, shrimps hold 1.35 million BTC, equivalent to 6.9% of the circulating supply. This reversal in behavior suggests that these small investors are becoming more attentive and adaptive.
Glassnode’s lead believes that this chart demonstrates the success of Bitcoin education efforts.
