Welcome to another episode of CopperCasts, where we had the opportunity to meet with Philip Gradwell, Chief Economist at Chainalysis.
Launched in 2014, Chainlaysis is a leading provider of blockchain intelligence and compliance solutions to financial institutions and law enforcement.
CopperCasts are split into two parts. The first is a short (2min) video in which our guest shares with us something they find unusual or inspiring about the digital asset space. The second half is a traditional audio-only podcast, which you can stream at the bottom of this page, or search for it in all the usual places.
In this Show & Tell segment, Philip examines recent on-chain data to explain institutional participation in the cryptocurrency. He reveals that since November 2020, large whales have been buying Bitcoin an average cost of $35k per coin, concluding that the willingness to buy the digital asset at this price level likely puts a new floor on the Bitcoin price of at least $35k.
Philip expands on how Bitcoin is used by institutional investors in the longer audio-only conversation with CopperCasts host, Tyler Kenyon. The two also discuss wider trends in the cryptocurrency markets that Chainalysis is seeing – such as the steady decline of Bitcoin inflows into exchanges.
