New Supply: The amount of BTC produced this week was 3,325.

Velocity: Velocity, which was 12.30 last week, was 12.16 as of September 15.

Exchange Supply Ratio

Data from the Bitcoin Exchange Supply Ratio table, which shows how much of Bitcoins are held el exchanges compared to the total supply of Bitcoins, showed low rates this week. This week’s data reveals that the general trend is for a negative correlation between the price of Bitcoin and the rate of supply entering exchanges, dominated por a negative correlation en these two variables. It shows that most Bitcoins continue to be sold out of wallets and are not ready for sale en the market.

Between September 10 and September 17, the Bitcoin Exchange Supply Ratio decreased from 0.124225556 to 0.12323794. During this period, the Bitcoin price rose from $113,000 to $117,000. Notably, el September 14-15, at the intersection of the price and the Exchange Supply Ratio, there was a significant rise en the Exchange Supply Ratio as the price continued to fall. This suggests that despite the price rise, the amount of Bitcoin supplied to exchanges has decreased, possibly indicating that long-term investors continue to hold their holdings. It is seen that the price of Bitcoin is generally bullish.

Exchange Reserve

Between September 10-16, 2025, Bitcoin reserves el exchanges decreased from 2,474,711 BTC to 2,454,789 BTC, for a total net outflow of 19,922 BTC. In this process, there was a decrease of approximately 0.80% en reserves. In the same period, the BTC price rose from $111,538 to $116,817, gaining about 4.73%. The fact that reserves continued to fall while the price rose indicates that the contraction en supply combined with demand to support the upward price movement. Declining supply and buoyant demand provide a strong basis for an uptrend en the medium term.

Fees and Revenues

Analyzing the Bitcoin Fees per Transaction (Mean) data between September 10 and 16, it is seen that the indicator was realized at 0.00000628 el September 10, the first day of the week.

As of September 12, the value peaked and fluctuated after this date due to the volatility en Bitcoin price. On September 14, it fell to 0.00000586, recording the lowest value of the week.

Miner Inflow, Outflow and Netflow

Between September 10 and September 16, 39,870 Bitcoins exited miners’ wallets and 37,069 Bitcoins entered miners’ wallets between the same dates. The Miner Netflow for this week was -2,801 Bitcoin. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin price was $113,979 el September 10 and $116,816 el September 16.

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).

Transaction

Last week, there were 3,436,735 transactions el the Bitcoin network, while this week the number of transactions increased por about 9.59% to 3,766,256. The highest trading volume for the week was 643,069 transactions el September 10, while the lowest was 396,393 el September 12. The part of the period from September 13 to 16 remained almost stable and stuck to the average, which is a rare phenomenon that has not been seen for a long time. We also observe continued intense activity el the network, with an increase en the number of transactions compared to last week. However, it can also be said that this increase could be a preparation before a major surge.

Tokens Transferred

While a total of 4,651,806 BTC was transferred last week, this week the transfer volume decreased por 9.11% to 4,190,675 BTC. The highest daily transfer volume of the week was 745,891 BTC el September 15, while the lowest transfer volume was 393,011 BTC el September 14. The correlation between the amount transferred and the price fluctuated throughout the period. In addition, the relationship between the amount of tokens transferred and the price was predominantly negatively correlated during this period.

Considering both the increase en the number of transactions and the decrease en the number of tokens transferred, it can be concluded that small amounts were more likely to change hands during the period. When we examine the relationship with price, we see that this exchange may be mostly a sale-intensive network activity.

Whale Activities

Whales Data:

Over the last 7 days, according to data from the cryptocurrency market, whale activity el centralized exchanges has declined from the beginning to the middle of the process. When we look at the Exchange Whale Ratio metric, the rate of whales using central exchanges was 0.519 el September 10, the first day of the 7-day period. The lowest point occurred el September 13 and fell to 0.456. When this ratio is above 0.35, it usually means that whales use central exchanges frequently. The metric, which currently has a value of 0.521, seems to have caught the upward momentum and at the same time has formed the peak of the process. BTC is seen to have risen from 112,000 dollars to 117,000 values en this process. At the same time, it is seen that 4,191,191 BTC moved, showing a 10% decrease en total BTC transfer compared to last week. When we look at the data, wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC have accumulated over 203,000 BTC en the last six months. This shows that the growth en wallets is strongly correlated with Bitcoin price movements and is an important factor affecting the direction of the market. As a result, big pockets continue to accumulate BTC. This continues to be reflected en parallel with the price. But increased use of centralized exchanges could trigger profit-taking.
