βοΈ GLASSNODE: BITCOIN PROFIT-TAKING STAYS LOW DESPITE SURGE IN SPOT VOLUME
Glassnodeβs latest on-chain analysis reveals Bitcoinβs recent rebound is being fueled by growing spot market activityβyet without the aggressive profit-taking typically seen near the peak of market cycles.
Key insights:
β’ Spot volume has jumped 121% from its August low
β’ Realized profit-taking remains far below levels observed during the 2024β2025 highs
β’ A major long-term holder supply cluster is forming around $85K
β’ Glassnodeβs mean MVRV valuation sits near $96.7K
Crucially, these figures shouldnβt be mistaken for price predictions.
They represent on-chain reference pointsβhistorical zones where significant holder cost bases and market valuations have previously settled.
For now, the data suggests the current rally is driven by genuine market interest, with long-term holders largely staying put.

One of the largest quarterly Bitcoin options expiries of 2026 hits the market today.
Approximately $16 billion worth of BTC options are set to expire on Deribit at:

The current open interest leans heavily toward calls, with more call exposure than puts.
Important note:
The $16B refers to the NOTIONAL value of these contracts β not the amount of Bitcoin that will be traded at expiry.
What actually matters is the ripple effect around the event:
β’ Dealer hedges get unwound
β’ Major positions vanish
β’ Traders open new positions
β’ Short-term volatility dynamics may shift
For long-term BTC holders, this changes nothing.
But for the broader market, it marks a significant reset in positioning.

According to Anchorage:

β’ BTC is not rehypothecated
β’ Rewards are paid in BTC
Key clarification:
Bitcoin has not transitioned to proof-of-stake.

This staking mechanism is part of Stacksβ PoX-5 system. Anchorage is providing the regulated custody infrastructure that institutions need to participate.
The significance?
A federally chartered digital asset bank is enabling clients to generate yield on their BTCβwithout ever moving the underlying assets off the Bitcoin blockchain.
π‘ A step forward in trusted, compliant on-chain utility.

π OVER 20 BTC RECOVERED FOLLOWING COLDCARD SECURITY INCIDENT
A Bitcoin recovery initiative has successfully returned more than 20 BTC to a user impacted by the COLDCARD seed-generation flaw.
The Crypto Recovery Trust reports that white-hat researchers have so far deposited approximately:
50 BTC
from at-risk wallets into the recovery pool.
The issue originated in firmware that produced wallet seeds with insufficient randomness, making it possible for attackers to reconstruct private keys offline.
Important to note:
The COLDCARD devices were not remotely compromised.
And simply updating the firmware does not fix an already weakened seed.
Coinkite has urged users with affected seeds to move their funds to a newly created, secure wallet.
For Bitcoin self-custody, the takeaway is clear:
Security depends not just on the hardwareβbut on the integrity of the randomness securing your keys.

β JPMORGAN: BITCOIN MINING COST NEAR $85K
JPMorgan estimates average Bitcoin mining cost at ~$85,000. BTC traded below this for ~280 daysβrecently surpassing it amid price surge.
Why it matters:
When BTC trades below mining cost, miners may:
β’ Sell more to cover costs
β’ Shut down inefficient rigs
β’ Halt expansion
β’ Shift energy use elsewhere
Sustained prices above $85K could ease pressure on miners.
Note: $85K is a modeled average. Actual costs vary by electricity, hardware, and financing.
The price vs. production cost balance remains a key supply-side metric.
