For instance, during the bull run of 2017, active BTC addresses surpassed 1 million, according to Glassnode data. However, as the bull run ended in 2018, active BTC addresses declined by nearly 50% to around 500,000, Glassnode data indicates.<\/p>\n<p>Active BTC addresses had a slow grind upward between 2018 and 2021. Between January and May 2021, active BTC addresses hovered around the 1.2 million mark, breaching it twice in the five months and reaching as high as over 1.3 million, according to Glassnode data.<\/p>\n<p>But in June 2021, active Bitcoin addresses reached a low of around 500,000, which could have been potentially the start of the bear market. After that, active BTC addresses increased slightly as BTC reached a new all-time high in November 2021. But even with the BTC price peaking, active addresses hovered around 1 million.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout 2022, active BTC addresses mainly remained below 1 million, according to Glassnode data. New BTC addresses remained relatively flat through 2022, around the 400,000 mark. New BTC addresses have hovered around the 400,000 mark over the past five years. However, in early 2021, new BTC addresses peaked slightly to exceed 600,000, Glassnode data indicates.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, although the price of Bitcoin touched new heights in November 2021, fundamentals suggest that the bear market set in months prior.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_285276\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-285276\" style=\"width: 1800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-285276 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/eth-addresses.png\" alt=\"Active Addresses vs New Addresses\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/eth-addresses.png 1800w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/eth-addresses-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/eth-addresses-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/eth-addresses-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/eth-addresses-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-285276\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Active Addresses vs. New Addresses<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>ETH active addresses follow a similar story to Bitcoin \u2014 peaking during bull runs and falling and stagnating burning bear markets.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that ETH active addresses saw the most significant 2022 spikes during market capitulations, such as the Terra-Luna fiasco and the bankruptcy of FTX and Alameda Research.
