Bitcoin’s path to $80,000 faces $47 billion in profitable supply

With Bitcoin near $77,381, Glassnode estimates that 68% of circulating supply is profitable, up from 65% at the same price in May. That represents about 600,000 additional BTC, worth roughly $47 billion, that could be sold for gains. Short-term holders have a cost basis near $71,000, while long-term supply is concentrated around $83,000-$86,000. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $236 million in outflows this week, testing whether demand can absorb the potential selling.

North Korea’s $30M crypto cashout gives legacy finance a weapon against DeFi’s US debut

An Arkham analysis reviewed on Aug. 31 found that wallets linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group sold more than $30 million in Bitcoin through Hyperliquid over three weeks, converting the proceeds to ETH and SOL before transfers to Kraken, LBank and KuCoin. The finding gives force to earlier CME and ICE warnings about sanctions evasion and complicates Hyperliquid’s proposed US entry through Payward and Bitnomial. CME is separately challenging the regulatory framework for crypto perpetuals in court.
