The analytics platform noted that examining Bitcoin’s network at the same level as other blockchains has been difficult since most tools use “outdated address labeling, fragmented data, or require advanced technical skills to extract meaning insights.” As a result, the new Bitcoin on-chain analytics aims to bring “the same depth of data that Nansen users have relied on for Ethereum and other blockchains to Bitcoin” by enabling traders, institutions, and analysts to monitor active addresses, transactions, and the principal entities interacting on the network. Alex Svanevik, Nansen’s CEO, shared his excitement about Bitcoin analytics, explaining that users can use the platform to monitor detailed key BTC on-chain metrics: Bitcoin is the most important asset in crypto, and we’re thrilled to finally bring Nansen’s industry-leading analytics to BTC. With our platform, users can now track Bitcoin’s key onchain metrics with the same level of detail and precision they expect from Nansen. The new data aggregation will allow users to see the exchanges and entities that move the most BTC to tackle the “guesswork” on whether the transaction spikes are retail-drive, institutional-driven, or exchange reshuffling. Users can also observe BTC’s liquidity and supply shift in real time to identify crucial trends before they hit the broader market. Additionally, they can track the crypto market’s sentiment with address activity data, offering users “a new way to gauge Bitcoin’s adoption and investor sentiment.” BTC Transactions See 42% Daily Surge Nansen’s new Bitcoin on-chain analytics revealed exchange dominance and shifts in network activity. According to the analytics platform, the largest Bitcoin-active entities include some of the world’s biggest crypto exchanges. The data shows that Binance, Bybit, OKX, Robinhood, and KuCoin are among the top 5 BTC-active exchanges. Binance dominates the list with 40.68% of tracked BTC transaction activity, followed by Bybit’s 23.36% and OKX’s 18.88%. Meanwhile, Robinhood continues to emerge as a key Bitcoin custodian with its 8.72% share, Nansen pointed out. It also noted that the network trend shows significant transaction spikes between April and June 2024, likely fueled by institutional moves, major market events, and mine behavior changes. In the past 24 hours, the number of Bitcoin active addresses has declined by 16.82% to around 462,390, suggesting network activity has slowed. The number of active addresses has hovered between 335,000 and 668,000 since September, surpassing the 600,000 mark several times since the November US elections.
