What Is Active Addresses?
The number of unique Bitcoin addresses that were active (either sending or receiving) on a given day. A proxy for daily network usage and user engagement.
How to Interpret
Rising active addresses during bull markets confirms organic adoption. Divergence between price (rising) and active addresses (falling) suggests speculative rather than organic growth.
