In less than a month, the Bitcoin network has added nearly 1 million wallets with non-zero balances. According to data presented by Glassnode, in late February the number of non-zero wallets on the network dropped from around 44.2 million to around 43.8 million by February 23rd.rdHowever, the metric has since made a roaring recovery, hitting a new all-time high of 44,778,000 as of Wednesday the 15th.th of March.
Analysts consider the number of wallets with non-zero balances of Bitcoin addresses as a rough indicator of network adoption. The growing number of wallets with non-zero balances is likely to correspond to the growing number of individual users of the network and investors in Bitcoin. An increase in the number of addresses with non-zero balances theoretically means an increase in demand for Bitcoin, which (in the long run) should boost its value.
The sharp increase in the number of wallets with non-zero addresses is not the only on-chain proxy that is driving Bitcoin demand in a positive direction. According to Glassnode, his 7-day exponential moving average (EMA) for new addresses interacting with the Bitcoin network has been trending upwards since last summer, and earlier this month he reached the highest level since mid-2021.
