Bitcoin Profit Taking Accelerates as BTC Realized Gain Jumps to $2.4B
The profit-taking activity on the Bitcoin network intensified on Monday, keeping bitcoin’s
spot price under pressure on the final day of the second quarter.
The total amount of realized profits on-chain rose to $2.4 billion, with its seven-day average climbing to $1.52 billion, the highest since the second half of May, according to veri tracked by blockchain analytics firm Glassnode.
“That’s above the YTD average of $1.14 billion, but still well below the ~$4 billion-$5 billion peaks (7D SMA) seen in Nov–Dec 2024,” Glassnode said on X.
The realized profit metric represents the total USD value of all coins moved on-chain whose price at their latest movement was higher than the price at their previous movement.
