Intra-bitcoin activity grew sharply in January; More than 22.3 million addresses sent or received bitcoins this month.
According to the Coin Telegraph, January was the record price and activity of the Bitcoin network. This month, more than 22.3 million unique addresses received or sent bitcoins in 31 days.
This statistic was considered by Glassnode digital currency market data collection company. The company wrote in a tweet that in January we saw the highest monthly number of unique active addresses in the history of Bitcoin:
In January, more than 22.3 million unique addresses were actively sent or received on the BTC network, the highest monthly number ever in Bitcoin history.
Activity growth in January broke the previous record of more than 21 million active addresses registered in December 2017. Since 2017, the number of unique addresses that have participated in Bitcoin has never been less than 10 million addresses per month.
Golsnood also noted that despite the increase in unique active wallets, the number of "active entities" in the Bitcoin network has dropped dramatically since the new cord was registered in early January.
According to Glesnood, "entity" is "a cluster of addresses controlled by the same entity on the network."
Bitcoin trading volume reached an all-time high last month, coinciding with the digital currency rising to a record high of $ 30,000 and a record $ 42,000. Bitcoin remained in a stable range for three weeks after that.
The US-based Kraken Exchange announced on February 2 that the volume of transactions processed in January exceeded the total for 2019. According to the exchange, 56 billion assets were transferred to the platform in January.
A large number of digital currency exchanges were shut down in January. Cracken and COINBASE took steps to prevent disruptions caused by increased traffic and volume in the future.
