Recently, the cryptocurrency market has shown some thought-provoking trends. Data shows that the transaction fees for Bitcoin (BTC) have fallen to the lowest levels in the past decade, raising concerns in the market about the weakening demand for Bitcoin.



Glassnode's data indicates that, based on a 14-day average, Bitcoin's daily transaction fees are only 3.5 BTC, a fee level not seen since the end of 2011, when the Bitcoin network was still in its early stages. This significant decline suggests a contraction in on-chain activity, reflecting a substantial weakening of recent demand for block space.

However, it is worth noting that data from CryptoQuant shows that while trading fees have decreased, the number of active sending addresses has surged in the past 48 hours. This phenomenon usually indicates that holders are moving assets out of their wallets, possibly to rebalance their portfolios or seek other investment opportunities.

At the same time, most major alternative coins (commonly known as "shitcoins") have shown strong growth during the same period. This phenomenon seems to confirm that investors are shifting their funds from BTC to other encryption assets in hopes of achieving higher short-term returns.

Despite this, there has been a significant increase in net outflows of funds from exchanges for Bitcoin over the past week. Some analysts believe this may indicate that long-term holders are increasing, reflecting confidence in the long-term value of Bitcoin.

These complex market trends reflect that cryptocurrency investors are diversifying their portfolios. While funds seem to be flowing towards alternative coins in the short term, Bitcoin's foundational position in the cryptocurrency market remains strong.

In the current market situation, investors need to remain vigilant and closely monitor market trends, while weighing short-term returns against long-term value. The dynamic changes in the encryption currency market not only reflect the adjustments in investor strategies, but also indicate the maturation process that the entire industry is undergoing.
