To measure total transfer volume, we use Glassnode\u2019s entity-adjusted metrics which uses advanced heuristics to determine and exclude volume transferred within addresses of the same entity. <\/p>\n<p>Using a 30-day average of transfer volume in BTC, the network reached a three-year high, moving 318,830 bitcoin at its peak in early October. Since then it\u2019s slowed down to around 275,000 bitcoin per day. Yet with the price increase, total transfer volume in USD is sustaining $15 billion transferred on the network per day throughout October.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/total-bitcoin-transfer-volume.png\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/total-bitcoin-trasnsfer-volume-usd-entity.png\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<p>We can break down the total transfer volume in USD categorizing smaller and larger transfer volumes. The lion\u2019s share of total transfer volume on the network comes from transactions moving $1 million-plus in value which now makes up 81.56% of all transfer volume. This trend of increasing share of $1 million-plus volume to total volume has been rising since late 2020 with a recent surge in September. In layman&#8217;s terms, more of the big money is moving around the network than ever before, especially over the last two months.<\/p>\n<p>Although $1 million plus volume makes up 81.56% of total volume, $10 million plus volume is the majority share of total volume at 61.7%. We can see a spike in the $10 million plus volume activity reaching over 75% share of total volume slightly before September\u2019s monthly low. That activity is largely sustained right before bitcoin\u2019s rally from $40,633 into a new all-time high.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/deep-dive-25-promo.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin network transfer volume has sustained $15 billion transferred on the network per day throughout October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2736,"featured_media":654,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[85,132,707],"class_list":["post-13271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-markets","tag-bitcoin-magazine-pro","tag-bitcoin-price","tag-bitcoin-transfer-volume"],"author_data":{"id":2736,"name":"Dylan Leclair And Sam Rule","nicename":"dylan-leclair-and-sam-rule","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/2b6b26c44e1d269b6e0f99be25243a520901d88fba7899ea664ee1c543b3ff6d?s=96&d=robohash&r=g"},"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/green-candle-price.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2736"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
