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.
On Tuesday, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a notable outflow of $242.53 million, marking the largest single-day withdrawal since early September. This movement halted an eight-day streak of positive inflows.
A recent Datascope analysis shared via CryptoQuant showed that extreme swings in the ratio of long/short volume to open interest often signal major market reversals.
The cryptocurrency market offers numerous opportunities but also presents significant challenges due to its volatility and shifting trends.
According to a JPMorgan report, in September the average Bitcoin (BTC) price and network mining rate rose slightly, while daily mining revenue and gross profits declined for the third consecutive month.
