Data: Web3 social application Towns has over 400,000 total users, with over 200,000 token holders

On April 21, cryptocurrency market analyst Axel noted Bitcoin’s 30-day net flow turned negative in early March, peaking at an outflow of 300,000 BTC on March 25. As of April 21, the net outflow remains -98,000 BTC. Over the same period, BTC reserves on exchanges dropped from 2.786 million to 2.681 million—posting a seven-week consecutive decline with a total reduction of over 105,000 BTC. Notably, there was no panic inflow during Bitcoin’s April price pullback, indicating tokens are continuing to settle with long-term holders. The current trend is seen as a signal of coordinated accumulation, though investors should be cautious about the potential risk of net flow turning positive.
