Ju pointed out that global spot ETF inflows for July were significantly lower at 53,000 BTC. He emphasized that this movement is not attributed to ETF wallets but indicates that large holders, or whales, are accumulating Bitcoin at unprecedented levels.
These addresses, described as custodial wallets, do not belong to exchanges or miners and show no outflows.

He explains that a distributive environment is characterized by low inflows to accumulation addresses and a high realized cap within a short period, driven by retail activities such as deposits to exchanges.
The realized cap metric tracks the value of Bitcoin based on its price when it last moved, providing insights into how many holders are in profit or loss.
