Other notable gainers over 24 hours leading up to press time were Internet Computer ICP/USD, Elrond EGLD/USD, and Litecoin LTC/USD.

Why It Matters: As per the onchain analytics firm Glassnode, the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), a short-range metric that points to profit and loss realized by Bitcoins spent on-chain has executed a “bullish reversal” after months of trading below the value of 1, which indicates net realized losses.

“​​Should SOPR continue to trade higher, this reflects a bullish scenario where the market is adequately absorbing profits realized on spent coins,” wrote Glassnode.

Glassnode observed that on a 14-day median basis, Average Coin Dormancy has reached 10 days, which is the same as the accumulation period between 2019 and 2020.

“It provides further evidence that old hands are not taking exit liquidity at this stage.”

Large transactions dominated when it came to Bitcoin. Dominance by on-chain transaction volume for values exceeding $1 million has risen from 30% to 70% of the total value transferred since September 2020, noted Glassnode.

“These large-size transactions are more likely to be accumulators than sellers and is again, fairly constructive for price.”

The U.S. Senate meanwhile is gearing up for a final vote on the $1 trillion infrastructure bill that is partly financed by a widened cryptocurrency tax net on Tuesday morning, CNN reported.

The Senate did not adopt a bipartisan compromise on a cryptocurrency tax provision in the bill after a Monday vote due to the objections of a lone senator, as per a CoinDesk report.
