Short-term bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) holders exited the market at a loss Monday as tumbling prices also saw derivative traders throw in the towel, leading to a significant decline in open futures bets on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.<\/p>\n

Short-term holders, defined by Glassnode as addresses with a history of holding coins for less than 155 days, sent over 21,000 BTC ($2.2 billion) to exchanges at a loss as the largest cryptocurrency fell as much as 4.7%, the most in two weeks, according to CoinDesk Indexes pricing.<\/p>\n

The transfer to exchanges, often a precursor to sales, was the second-biggest this month and may reflect that purchasers who’d bought when the price was near record highs around $108,000 toward the start of the year were spooked by the sudden slide back into the five digits.<\/p>\n

These addresses, owned by active traders, new entrants and weak hands, tend to be sensitive to price gyrations and often succumb when prices slide. BTC fell to under $98,000 as the weekend release of the Chinese startup DeepSeek challenged U.S. leadership in AI and technology.<\/p>\n

Other corners of the market also hinted at capitulation, often observed at local price bottoms. For instance, the perpetual funding rates<\/a> for BTC flipped negative, a sign of stronger demand for bearish bets. That\u2019s usually when bitcoin reaches a low such as on Jan. 13, when bitcoin dipped below $90,000 and Aug. 5, during the yen carry trade unwind.<\/p>\n

The de-risking also happened on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, a proxy for institutional activity, which saw the biggest notional drop in open interest (OI) alongside a double-digit slide in chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA). Notional bitcoin OI fell a record $2.4 billion (17,000 in BTC terms), driving the basis lower, according to Glassnode data. <\/p>\n

U.S. listed bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a massive outflow of $457.6 million. A similar outflow occurred Jan. 13, according to Farside data. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
