According to data provided by Santiment, Bitcoin’s two-year dormant circulation increased by 130% over the past day, reaching 13,589 BTC. Addresses holding the digital gold for over three years also skyrocketed 154%, moving 8,235 BTC in 24 hours.

The recent Bitcoin ATH pushed its MVRV ratio to 178%, according to Santiment data. The indicator shows that the average BTC holder is seeing a 178% profit at this price point.

The last time the two and three-year dormant Bitcoin circulation surged together was Aug. 29. This, consequently, pulled the asset’s price down from $60,000 to $54,000 within a week as long-term holders took profits, data from the market intelligence platform shows.

Bitcoin’s latest rally brought positive sentiment to the broader sector again. 

The global crypto market cap increased by 4.7% in the past 24 hours and is currently sitting at an ATH of $3.11 trillion, according to data from CoinGecko.

Moreover, the cryptocurrency market witnessed a $765 billion surge over the past week. 

Per a crypto.news report on Monday, crypto-related investment products saw their highest year-to-date inflows, worth $31.3 billion. The total amount of assets under management reached $116 billion.

This shows increased interest from both institutional investors as the market turned green following Donald Trump’s win in the U.S. presidential election.
