According to the analytical platform IntoTheBlock, on March 25, 40.25 million addresses were registered in the Bitcoin network. This is a historical maximum for the entire existence of the cryptocurrency.
Resource analysts noted that the number of bitcoin addresses with a non-zero balance decreased in February. But afterwards, resumed growth and updated all-time highs. “This indicates a growing interest,” they added.
