On July 23, Bitcoin’s 30-day apparent spot demand sat at roughly –206,000 BTC. That is not a soft reading. It means the market was absorbing far less coin than miners were issuing and old holders were reactivating. Price was stuck in the low $60,000s. The tape felt empty.
Three weeks later the same metric was hugging zero — about –5,000 BTC — for the first time since February 26, 2026. By the last week of August, CryptoQuant’s...
