Both Shrimps (< 1 BTC) and Crabs (1-10 BTC) are at ATH accumulation rates by this metric.

Of interest is the period from May to December 2021, where Crabs significantly reduced their accumulation until LUNA collapsed

In our latest research piece, we explore how the smallest HODLers of $BTC, the Shrimp (< 1 $BTC) 🦐 and Crab (< 10 $BTC)🦀 are in fact last cycles largest accumulators.
