True Market Mean (Glassnode)
What to know:
- Bitcoin rebounded from the $80,000 region after a sharp correction from its October all time high, with price holding above the average entry levels of key metrics.
- The convergence of the True Market Mean, U.S. ETF cost basis, and the 2024 yearly cost basis around the low $80,000 range highlights this zone as a major area of structural support.
Bitcoin BTC$90,257.55 has so far bounced above $90,000, 15% higher from its Nov. 21 low of around $80,000, with price finding confluence support across three important cost basis metrics: the 2024 yearly volume weighted cost basis, the True Market Mean, and the average U.S. spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) cost basis.
These metrics help to identify where investors are most likely to defend positions during drawdowns. The area of support proved vital, as it aligned closely with the average acquisition prices of multiple investor cohorts.

First, the True Market Mean, represents the average onchain purchase price of bitcoin held by active market participants. It focuses on coins that have moved recently, filtering out long dormant supply, and therefore reflects the cost basis of investors who are most likely to trade.
During this pullback, the True Market Mean sat near $81,000 and acted as clear support. Notably, bitcoin first moved above this level in October 2023 and had not traded below it since, reinforcing its importance as a structural bull market threshold.
Second, the U.S. spot ETF cost basis reflects the weighted average price at which bitcoin has flowed into U.S. listed spot ETFs. This is calculated by Glassnode using the combined daily ETF inflows with the market price.
The average cost basis currently sits around $83,844, according to Glassnode, and bitcoin once again bounced off this level, which it similarly did during the April tariff-driven selloff.
ETF Cost Basis (Glassnode)
The third metric, the 2024 yearly cost basis, tracks the average price at which coins acquired in 2024 were withdrawn from exchanges. CoinDesk Research has shown a pattern that yearly cohort cost bases tend to act support during bull markets.
In this case, the 2024 cost basis near $83,000, according to checkonchain, provided additional confirmation of demand, again was also seen as support during the April correction.

These metrics highlight the depth of demand of support in the $80,000 region.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach
The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation. UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy. Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider. Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
