TechFlow, August 20 — Glassnode published an analysis indicating that investors holding positions for over one month (excluding day traders) have recently taken significant profits, leading to signs of contraction in the crypto market. Multiple major crypto assets experienced notable peaks in profit realization during July–August 2025.
BTC saw over $1.5 billion in profit-taking on July 18, the largest since December 2024. ETH reached a peak of $575 million in realized profit on August 16, suggesting long-term holders are avoiding risk.
