Despite whispers of a slowdown, Bitcoin’s bull run is still charging ahead as of August 2025. Three key metrics—exchange reserves, whale accumulation, and network activity—paint a clear picture of sustained momentum. This article dives into the data, backed by insights from BTCC analysts and verified sources like CoinMarketCap, to explain why the crypto king isn’t ready to surrender its throne just yet. Buckle up; we’re breaking it down with charts, historical context, and a dash of trader humor.

Is Bitcoin’s Bull Run Really Still Alive?

You’ve probably seen the headlines: "Bitcoin Peak Imminent!" or "Crypto Winter Coming?" But let’s cut through the noise. As of August 12, 2025, the data tells a different story. Bitcoin’s price might be volatile (when is it not?), but three metrics scream "not dead yet":

• Exchange reserves hit a 2-year low this week, meaning fewer coins are available for panic selling (Source: CryptoQuant).
• Whale wallets added 42,000 BTC in July alone—equivalent to roughly $2.5 billion at current prices.
• Network activity spiked 18% month-over-month, with daily transactions nearing December 2024 levels.

I’ve been through enough cycles to know that metrics like these don’t lie. Remember 2021? Everyone called the top at $60K… until it wasn’t. History doesn’t repeat, but it sure rhymes.

Why Exchange Reserves Matter More Than You Think

Here’s a pro tip: watch where the coins go. When BTC floods exchanges, it’s often a prelude to sell-offs. But right now? The opposite is happening. BTCC’s reserves dropped 7% in August, mirroring trends at Binance and Kraken. Less supply on exchanges = fewer paper hands dumping at the first sign of trouble.

Whales Are Accumulating—Should You?

Whales aren’t just buying; they’re. The top 1% of addresses now control 34% of circulating supply (per CoinMarketCap), a level last seen before the 2023 rally. One BTCC analyst put it bluntly: "Retail follows whales. Always has."
