Bitcoin Spot Accumulation Surge as Fed Cuts Rates
Changes in DeFi market structure have been observed following new Federal Reserve decisions. Bitcoin's on-chain transaction fees fell 8.6% to $2.03 million, reinforcing spot accumulation trends. Investors are moving coins off exchanges, which consequently reduces the available spot supply.
