A surprise wave of cash crashed into the crypto world, jolting prices and waking up sidelined investors. In just three weeks, over $35 billion flowed into digital coins. Numbers like that don’t come along every day. It feels like a fresh breeze after a long drought.
Analyst’s On-Chain Findings
According to a May 14 post on X by crypto expert Ali Martinez, the data comes straight from Glassnode, a leading blockchain analytics firm. Ali highlighted that the market saw $35.05 billion in net inflows over the three‑week stretch.
The analyst broke it down further: roughly $16.64 billion headed into Bitcoin, and about $8.44 billion went into Ethereum. Ali’s chart, named “Aggregate Market Realized Value Net Position Change,” tracks these shifts over a rolling 30‑day window and makes the rush hard to miss.

Aggregate Market Realized Value Shows Surge
Based on reports from Glassnode, the chart’s grey bars represent total capital that enters and stays in wallets. Since mid‑April, those bars climbed steadily, then shot up after April 26. When bars grow, it means money isn’t just passing through exchanges—it’s being parked for the long haul. Long‑term buyers appear to be staking their claim, not flipping for quick gains.
Bitcoin Drives The Flows
Bitcoin took the lead, soaking up roughly $16.64 billion of the total inflows. Its orange line on the chart trends upward in a steady, confident climb. That tells us buyers are still active and don’t see a reason to sell just yet. When big investors move cash, they often start with Bitcoin because it’s the most liquid and familiar asset in crypto. A strong net position change usually hints at bets on higher prices ahead.
Institutional Signals And Ethereum’s Role
Ethereum didn’t stay on the sidelines. It picked up around $8.44 billion during the same period, shown by its purple line. While that line is flatter than Bitcoin’s, it still points to steady interest. Some investors may be waiting on final staking rules or watching gas‑fee shifts before committing more.
Yet, parked funds in ETH wallets also speak to a growing belief that its value will rise over time. At the same time, parked capital in both coins suggests institutions are gearing up for a potential rally rather than chasing quick profits.
What Comes Next
There’s drama ahead. If inflows keep climbing but prices level off or slip, the market might be nearing a tipping point. Stablecoin issuance is another big factor—if issuers slow down, fresh inflows could dry up. And of course, any major regulatory move could send a shock through markets.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
