Massive accumulation of Bitcoin and altcoin looming?
Recent data from Sanitation revealed a notable surge in stablecoin accumulation, especially Maker DAI and USDP, on July 12. Santiment’s distribution supply chart, which tracks the range between 100,000 and 100 million coins, recorded increased holdings of stablecoins. In the case of DAI, about 2% of the total supply has been added since July 27. Also, USDP witnessed an increase of around 11% since July 2.

Number of Bitcoin holders is rising
Recent reports pointed to a growth in the number of Bitcoin addresses, pointing to an increasing user base joining the network. The continued increase in stablecoin accumulation could potentially contribute to further user growth.
Another metric likely to rise once accumulation begins is the number of holders. According to data from Santiment, the total number of holders has been steadily increasing since the beginning of the year. Notably, the chart suggested that more holders were added as the price of BTC rose. Currently, the total number of holders is close to 48 million, showing no signs of a downward trend at the time of writing.
