On-chain analytics reveal that retail investors (holding less than 1 BTC) own 9.5% of total bitcoin, while large investors control the remaining 90.5%.
Notably, retail ownership has grown significantly—from 6.8% in 2020 to a record high of 9.85% in December 2023. Quarterly reports from crypto exchange Coinbase provided data on transaction volume on its platform and broke down whether this volume came from institutions or consumers (retail). Although retail investor volume grew in 2024 compared with 2023, so did institutional volume — and at much higher levels. source : criptoquant

🚨TRUMP CHRISTMAS WISHES - A "MERRY CHRISTMAS" TO "EVERYONE"... WITH A MESSAGE TO THE WORLD
- On China and the Panama canal: “To the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal… the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in ‘repair’ money but will have absolutely nothing to say about ‘anything.’” - On Canada: “To Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World.” - On Greenland: “To the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and who want the U.S. to be there, and we will!” Closing Note: “We had the Greatest Election in the History of our Country… and, in 26 days, we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. MERRY CHRISTMAS!” Will US imperialism be one of the major theme of 2025??? Source: Truth Social, @mario nawfal on X
