the owners of the cryptocurrencies for all time of its existence at least 3.79 million bitcoins, or about $ 30 billion, analysts estimate the company Chainanalysis. While 28 percent of the remaining coins are divided among 1.6 thousand of the largest investors. Data results .
theWho owns the third Bitcoins
On cryptocurrency market, as well as in the global economy, there is a huge gap between the richest members and other players. Researchers estimate that more than 40 percent of Bitcoins are in 0,000074 wallets. Thus in the three largest wallets is 448 218 bitcoins or 3.75 billion dollars. To whom they belong, is unknown.
This is a serious differentiation among the owners of the first crypto-currencies threatened by market instability, says analyst Chainanalysis Philip Gradwell.
the Concentration of such wealth in the hands of 1600 investors means that unknown people control a third of the market of Bitcoin. It threatens the coin of extremely high volatility, because the actions of a limited number of individuals can drastically affect the rate.
the View that big players are manipulating the market of cryptocurrency, there is a long time — until the market is regulated by the "whales" feel the freedom. And the transfer of these funds to the new owners is unlikely to lead to a rise in Bitcoin exchange rate — quite the contrary.
