Glassnode interpreted the flow of spot Bitcoin ETF and the possible effects of the upcoming Bitcoin (BTC) halving.
The latest report transmitted by the on-chain analysis platform Glassnode included thoughts on how Bitcoin might behave in the coming days.
Analysts pointed out that, unlike previous halving cycles, this time the influence of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has emerged as a new and important parameter, signaling the dynamics of long-term investors and supply mathematics.
The report also emphasized that as Bitcoin halving approaches, volatility is inevitably expected to increase, while spot Bitcoin ETF purchases could serve as a buffer against this volatility.
