Active Addresses
In terms of active addresses, there were 975,749 active entries to the BTC network between May 7 and May 14, 2025 this week. During this period, Bitcoin rose to the $104,000 level. On the chart, we see that on May 9, Bitcoin purchases changed direction at the intersection of price and the number of active addresses. When we follow the 7-day simple moving average, it is observed that the price followed an upward trend on the dates when this average also crossed the price. This situation indicates that the Bitcoin price is experiencing entries at the level of 102,000 dollars.
Active Sending Addresses
With the Black Line (price line) in active shipping addresses, there has been a significant drop in active shipping addresses after May 7. On the day when the price hit its lowest point, active sending addresses rose to 731,910, indicating that buyers sold their positions as Bitcoin stayed around the $93,000 level for a while. As a result, it is seen that price drops cause an acceleration in sending addresses.
Active Receiving Addresses
With the Black Line (price line) in active shipping addresses, there has been a significant rise in active shipping addresses after May 12. On the day of the price high point, active shipping addresses dropped to 488,160, indicating that buyers took their positions at Bitcoin’s $102,000 level.

Derivatives
Open Interest
The first thing that stands out in the chart is the short-term fluctuations between May 7 and May 14. While Open Interest was around $31.9 billion on May 7, it rose sharply to $32.6 billion on May 8. This rise is in line with the price and marks a period of new position entry into the market. This may indicate that investors opened positions in anticipation of a rise. However, on May 9th, while the price remained stable, open interest fell sharply. While Open Interest fell as low as $31.5 billion, this reflects a period of profit realization and position closures. Between May 10-11, both metrics show a recovery trend. As of May 11, Open Interest reached 32.4 billion USD again and the price also moved upwards. At this point, there seems to be a new wave of optimism in the market. However, this recovery was not long-lasting; on May 12, both metrics declined again. Then, on May 13, Open Interest peaked at 32.7 billion USD and the price followed suit, approaching 104,000 levels. This suggests that the market has regained a strong momentum, but as of May 14, both metrics are experiencing a small pullback. Open Interest dropped to 32.5 billion USD while the price fell to 103,500 USD. Looking at the overall picture, there is a strong correlation between Open Interest and price data except for May 08 -09.
Funding Rate
As of May 7, the funding rate started quite low at 0.001, indicating that the market was proceeding cautiously. However, as the price started to rise rapidly from then on, the funding rate increased steadily. As of May 9, the ratio was as high as 0.009, indicating that the market was predominantly filled with long positions. This implies that investors were bullish and the cost of long positions increased. On May 11, the funding rate peaked above 0.01, but at this point the price started a slight pullback. This outlook indicates that the market was inflated with excessive long positions and the risk of a correction increased. Although the funding rate remained at high levels in the following days, it is observed that the price moved in parallel with this course with small fluctuations. In general, the positive and increasing trend of funding ratios indicates that the market is mostly positioned long and investor sentiment is optimistic. However, such high ratios may also be a harbinger of a potential correction risk. The fact that funding rates are so positive suggests that the market may be overheated and a short-term balancing act is possible.
Long & Short Liquidations
With BTC surpassing the $100,000 level and rising to $105,800, there was a high amount of liquidation in short positions last week. While 335 million dollars of long transactions were liquidated, 1 billion 243 million dollars of short transactions were liquidated.
| Date | Long Amount (Million $) | Short Amount (Million $) |
|---|---|---|
| May 07 | 25.62 | 43.56 |

| May 12 | 211.53 | 403.62 |
| May 13 | 18.36 | 40.18 |
| Total | 335.32 | 1243.66 |
Supply Distribution
Total Supply: It reached 19,860,724 units, up about 0.0162% from last week.
New Supply: The amount of BTC produced this week 3,225.
Velocity: Velocity, which was 13.01 last week, was 13.03 as of May 12.
Looking at the wallet distribution of the current supply, <1 BTC and 1-10 BTC categories saw limited decreases of 0.19% and 0.41%, respectively, while the 10-100 BTC range remained flat at 0.01%. 100-1K BTC wallets stood out with an increase of 0.26%, while the 1K-10K BTC segment showed a limited decline, falling by 0.43%. In the 10K+ BTC category, a remarkable increase was recorded with an increase of 0.82%.
| Wallet Category | 28.04.2025 | 12.05.2025 | Change (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 1 BTC | 8.5278% | 8.5116% | -0.19% |
| 1 – 10 BTC | 11.6521% | 11.6042% | -0.41% |
| 10 – 100 BTC | 24.6924% | 24.6938% | 0.01% |
| 100 – 1k BTC | 28.4932% | 28.5659% | 0.26% |
| 1k – 10k BTC | 18.2828% | 18.2044% | -0.43% |
| 10k+ BTC | 8.3513% | 8.4198% | 0.82% |
Exchange Reserve
Between May 7-13, 2025, Bitcoin reserves on exchanges decreased from 2,464,035 BTC to 2,446,690 BTC. During this period, there was a total net outflow of 17,345 BTC and the Bitcoin reserves of exchanges decreased by 0.70%. The Bitcoin price increased by approximately 7.3% during the same period. Bitcoin, which closed at $97,056 on May 7, 2025, closed at $104,138 on May 13, 2025. This decline in reserves on exchanges shows that investors are moving away from the selling pressure and taking a long-term attitude by moving their assets off-exchange. Especially the steady increase in the price during the week supports this trend. This may put upward pressure on the price in terms of both supply-side contraction and positive demand-side expectations.
| Date | 7-May | 8-May | 9-May | 10-May | 11-May | 12-May | 13-May |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| BTC Price | 97,056 | 103,285 | 102,985 | 104,792 | 104,139 | 102,801 | 104,138 |

Miner Inflow, Outflow and Netflow
Between May 7 and May 13, 51,155 Bitcoins exited miners’ wallets and 50,739 Bitcoins entered miners’ wallets between the same dates. The Miner Netflow for this week was -416 Bitcoin. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin price was $97,055 on May 7 and $104,137 on May 13.
For the week, the net flow (Miner Netflow) was negative as Bitcoin inflow into miner wallets (Miner Inflow) was less than Bitcoin outflow from miner wallets (Miner Outflow).
| May 7 | May 8 | May 9 | May 10 | May 11 | May 12 | May 13 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miner Inflow | 6293.33 | 11356.76 | 9771.13 | 4485.85 | 5474.97 | 8000.34 | 5357.53 |

Transaction
Last week, there were 2,534,328 transactions on the Bitcoin network, compared to 2,337,243 this week, a decrease of about 7.78%. The 378,140 transactions recorded on May 12 constituted the highest transaction volume of the week, while the lowest number of transactions was 281,607 on May 11.
Looking at the correlations between price and the number of trades, the negative and positive correlations seem to be balanced, but we can say that the activity on the network has decreased with the decrease in the number of trades this week compared to the previous week.
Tokens Transferred
While 4,747,382 BTC was transferred last week, it decreased by 0.25% to 4,735,239 BTC this week. On May 9, 840,644 BTC was transferred, the highest token transfer volume of the week, while the lowest token transfer volume was recorded on May 10 with 478,002 BTC. Negative correlations were observed between the BTC amounts transferred on the network in the “BTC amount transferred – Price” relationship throughout this week.
Whale Activities
Whales Data
Over the last 7 days, data from the cryptocurrency market showed that whale activity on centralized exchanges was high at the beginning of the process. Towards the middle of the process, these activities declined. When we look at the Exchange Whale Ratio metric, the rate of whales using central exchanges at the beginning of the 7-day period was measured as 0.529. When this ratio is above 0.35, it usually means that whales use central exchanges frequently. This measurement decreased in the middle of the process, falling to 0.383 on May 11, the lowest point of the process. It currently stands at 0.497 and centralized exchanges continue to be used frequently. BTC has moved between $96,000 and $103,000 during this period. This shows that whales are using centralized exchanges to buy trades. At the same time, total BTC transfers decreased by about 1% compared to last week, with 4,735,349 BTC moving. The data shows that Bitcoin accumulating more BTC from investors who are not selling their holdings, and the giant whales are still accumulating after the price surpassed $100,000. The 30-day rolling increase of 180,000 BTC is the biggest since December 2022. Bitcoin’s key giant whale level (holding 100,000-10,000 BTC) has accumulated a total of 83,105 BTC over the past 30 days. As a result, while large investors scooping up BTC is usually a bullish sign, long-term investors may not care much about the price. However, in our on-chain metric, we can say that the bulls have been winning the process in whale activity for most of the period, which is now being offset by the bears.
