Data acquired by Finbold indicates that as of May 28, 202, the number of addresses with a BTC balance of more than $1m has dropped by 20%, as a direct result of the downward pressure that has been witnessed in the cryptocurrency market, which has resulted in a loss of almost one trillion.
Newsnow.co.uk, reported that data acquired by Finbold indicates that as of May 28, 202, the number of addresses with a BTC balance of more than $1m was 77,936, according to BitInfoCharts.com statistics.
Approximately 5,856 of the addresses had a combined balance of approximately $10m. The remaining 72,080 addresses have a balance of $1m apiece or more.
When employing a web archive tool Wayback Machine, it was determined that the number of addresses BTC with over $1 million worth of Bitcoin are down since pretty much the start of the year by 21.34%, with 99,092 addresses recorded on January 5.
Notably, the number of Bitcoin millionaires has decreased dramatically since the start of January, but if we take the date further back to October 2021, when Bitcoin was around its peak, the drop is more remarkable.
Indeed, on October 28, 2021, when 116,139 addresses were declared Bitcoin millionaires it would indicate a 32.89 per cent fall in seven months.
A combination of factors such as regulatory scrutiny, turbulent markets, geopolitical unrest, and interest hikes continue to have an adverse effect on the asset’s performance.
Nevertheless, some analysts still believe the value of Bitcoin will continue to rise; a senior analyst at Deutsche Bank Research, Marion Laboure, stated:
Currently, the price of Bitcoin is trading at $28,804, down 0.69 per cent in the last 24 hours and 1.68 per cent across the previous week, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
