Interest in Inscriptions is increasing
One of the main reasons for the high activity on the network is the huge interest in Bitcoin subscriptions. Data from Dune Analytics showed that the number of daily signups has increased significantly from 150,000 to 200,000 in recent days.

In addition, a vast majority of inscription activity stems from the demand for text-based inscriptions, which accounts for approximately 90% of the total activity.
Coupled with the increasing interest in Subscriptions, there has been a notable increase in interest in holding Bitcoin. Glassnode’s data indicates that the number of non-zero addresses reached an all-time high on May 28.

In addition, Bitcoin’s MVRV ratio, which measures the average profit or loss of all holders, fell. This suggested that Bitcoin holders became less profitable. If this trend continues, it could potentially lead to a reduction in holder selling pressure.
While these developments bode well for Bitcoin, some warning signs have also emerged. BTC’s long/short difference has narrowed, indicating that the number of new addresses outnumbered the number of old addresses.
It is worth noting that new addresses are more likely to sell their holdings, potentially causing price swings and challenges to Bitcoin stability in the future.

One reason for the spike in long positions in Bitcoin’s favor could be the diminishing implied volatility for the cryptocurrency. Decreasing volatility often encourages investors to take more favorable positions in anticipation of a period of price stability or upward movement.
