For the first time since November 2021, almost 90% of Bitcoin (BTC) investors are in the black, according to statistics from blockchain analytics company IntoTheBlock. The spike in profits coincides with a wild day for Bitcoin, which included whipsaw price swings due to a fabricated rumour that the first Bitcoin spot ETF in the United States had received official clearance.
According to the most recent statistics, the price of Bitcoin is currently $45,488; this represents a decrease of 2.25% over the last day. The turbulent journey started when a hacker posted a bogus statement on the SEC’s X account (previously Twitter), misrepresenting the regulatory clearance of the much awaited Bitcoin ETF, by taking advantage of a SIM swap assault.
The price of Bitcoin had a strong increase due to this false information, peaking at $47,901, before quickly declining to its present levels. The post was the consequence of a security breach, according to platform representatives, underscoring the susceptibility of even well-known sites to highly skilled attackers.

The fabricated clearance statement raised expectations even higher for a favourable SEC ruling on Bitcoin spot ETFs, which is anticipated to bring billions of dollars in fresh capital into the cryptocurrency space. Despite the recent decline in value, this expectation has been the main driver of Bitcoin’s price increase over the last two months.
The IntoTheBlock statistics, which shows that almost 90% of Bitcoin holding addresses are now in profit, is viewed as positive news for the most popular cryptocurrency despite price swings. This figure highlights the potential for long-term growth and the tenacity of long-term investors who have withstood the volatility of the market.
It is anticipated that the financial success of holders will help to solidify Bitcoin’s standing as a store of value and draw in further institutional investors. The recent spike in profitability is evidence of Bitcoin’s tenacity and the confidence that permeates its devoted investment community, even as it continues to negotiate the legal environment and experience periodic bouts of volatility.
