📉 Since February, 2021, the 5-year difference in Bitcoin's level of network activity is staggering:

👉 -42% less unique $BTC addresses making transactions

👉 - 47% less new $BTC addresses created

💀 No, this does not imply that "crypto is dead" or that we are entering a multi-year bear market. However, there was a clear bearish divergence that had been forming throughout 2025 as market caps continued to hit new heights while Bitcoin's utility declined.

📊 A justification for crypto beginning to see a true long-term relief rally will be when metrics like active addresses and network growth begin to rise. Though altcoins will be somewhat dependent on how $BTC looks in this respect, they also can see individual pumps once their network activity rises.
