June was much rougher for Bitcoin than many expected at the beginning of the month. This is because the price of Bitcoin virtually <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/how-decline-bitcoin-demand-behind-price-correction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">declined throughout the month</a>, leaving many investors, <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-price-falls-below-short-term-holders-realized-price-of-66200-what-are-the-implications/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">especially short-term holders</a>, disappointed. 
However, despite the price decline, on-chain data suggests that <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/nigerian-crypto-boom-sec-embraces-innovation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Bitcoin adoption is growing</a>. New data shows the number of new Bitcoin addresses being created has surged to the highest level in two months. This growth suggests the long-term prospects for Bitcoin remain strong.

Despite the price slump, the network is exhibiting a promising trend that signals future growth for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. According to Glassnode chart data initially shared on social media platform X by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, new BTC wallet addresses have risen steadily over the past week to reach 352,124, their highest level since April.&nbsp; 
Interestingly, the chart shows that the recent uptick in new addresses contrasts with a larger decrease in the creation of new addresses since November 2023. This new increase points to an influx of new users entering the crypto space. As more people adopt Bitcoin, demand will inevitably grow, which is a catalyst for price surges down the line. 
Furthermore, Martinez suggested that the uptick in new addresses is from retail investors making a comeback. While institutional investors often drive major market moves, retail interest is crucial for Bitcoin’s mainstream adoption.

</blockquote> 
A major part of the increase in new addresses can be attributed to recent adoption in the Brazilian market. Nubank, Brazil’s biggest neobank, recently announced plans to integrate Bitcoin’s lightning network into its services. As the largest fintech bank in Latin America, this integration could potentially expose a significant portion of its 100 million customers to the digital asset.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $61,446. The leading digital asset has lost over 10% of its market cap in a 30-day time frame and the bulls are struggling to break above $61,000. This downtrend could be attributed to a selloff by miners and many<a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/bitcoin-news/market-tremors-10-billion-in-bitcoin-dumped-in-may-alone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener "> long-term holders</a>. Specifically, <a href="https://x.com/intotheblock/status/1806661376271643092" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">around 40,000 BTC</a> were sold by long-term holders in June.&nbsp; 
Bear markets are temporary. Bull runs will return. It’s just a matter of when, not if. With the second half of the year now approaching, time can only tell how the price of Bitcoin unfolds. Of course, new wallet addresses don’t directly impact price, but they are a leading indicator of growing Bitcoin adoption. 
This adoption and demand, coupled with a recent decrease in the number of new Bitcoins entering the market, <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/analyst-foresees-bitcoin-revisiting-72000-soon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">points to an increase</a> in the price of Bitcoin in July.
