Ki Yong Ju, CEO of market analytics company CryptoQuant, recently highlighted that the US is regaining its dominant position in terms of Bitcoin (BTC) holdings.
In a post on Platform X, Zhu noted that the U.S.’s share of Bitcoin holdings is increasing compared to other countries due to the interest in ETFs from high-profile individuals.

Ju also pointed out that Bitcoin has effectively gone through significant FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) in 2023. Despite the sell-off concerns related to Mt. Gox and German BTC holdings, Bitcoin appears to have remained stable, with minimal impact on the market as expected from the data.
According to him, the early release of former Binance CEO Changpen Zhao from prison is creating a bullish sentiment in the market. He speculates that Zhao’s return could potentially spark a market-wide rally, especially if he publicly signals his return to the crypto space.
Bitcoin is once again mirroring global liquidity trends—and that could have major implications in the days ahead.
The crypto market is showing signs of cautious optimism. While prices remain elevated, sentiment indicators and trading activity suggest investors are stepping back to reassess risks rather than diving in further.
Citigroup analysts say the key to Bitcoin’s future isn’t mining cycles or halving math—it’s ETF inflows.
Bitcoin may be entering a typical summer correction phase, according to a July 25 report by crypto financial services firm Matrixport.
