Bitcoin Demand Is Stuck

Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, noted that Bitcoin's demand is currently stagnant, indicating a lack of strong interest from individual and institutional investors. The apparent demand metric has significantly decreased since reaching an all-time high of $109,000 in January 2025.

Bitcoin's price is around $82,300, down 1.2% in the last 24 hours. Daily trading volume has decreased by 22%, totaling $29 billion.
