Bitcoin Miners Start Selling: Rate Of BTC Being Sent To Exchanges At 1-Month High

Some Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) miners may be feeling a bit insecure about their commitment to the world's leading cryptocurrency, at least that's one interpretation of on-chain data showing that they are increasingly selling their holdings.

What Happened: Blockchain data shows that the seven-day moving average of Bitcoin miners-to-exchange flow reached a one-month high of 5,893 BTC. A tweet sent by Glassnode Alerts (the Twitter profile sharing on-chain trends of blockchain data firm Glassnode) also pointed out that the previous six-month high of 5,843 BTC was observed on May 14, 2022.

The catastrophe hit Bitcoin very directly, with the Luna Foundation Guard selling as many as 80,000 BTC over three days in a futile attempt to help UST regain its peg to the United States dollar.
