Bitcoin is lagging behind traditional assets as August wrapped up as it struggled with low liquidity and fears of potential sell-offs by governments. The US, China, UK, and Ukraine might offload their Bitcoin holdings which can contribute to a possible $33 billion supply overhang.&nbsp; 
According to Kaiko, the US holds 203,220 BTC, China 190,000, the UK 61,200, and Ukraine 46,350. The defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox exchange still has about 46,170 BTC left to distribute.

<a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1830361741257056738" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Data shared</a> by Ali Martinez depicts that the exchange volume momentum dropped in exchange related to on-chain activity. This points out the lower investor interest in Bitcoin and reduced network usage. It added that the capital flows for BTC and other top cryptos fell below for Stablecoins which signals a cautious market ahead. 
This indicates that investors are shifting to stablecoin for safety and maybe for future buying opportunities. It often reflects the uncertainty or defensive stance of traders in the market.
