The average annual number of CoinJoin transactions has surged over the past two years. While some attribute the surge to hackers laundering funds, Chainalysis reports that total hacker losses this year are $2.2 billion — less than 0.5% of Bitcoin’s $377 billion realized market cap inflows. In 2024, 1.55 million BTC flowed into accumulation addresses, primarily associated with ETFs, MicroStrategy, and custodial wallets. Whales often use private transactions to transfer funds to new institutional investors.
