BIS: Most Retail Bitcoin Investors Have Lost Money

According to the analysts of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), from 2015 to 2022, the average retail investor lost about half of the funds invested in Bitcoin, despite the increase in its price during this period.

These conclusions are based on the analysis of loading and activity of applications of crypto platforms and on-chain data.

The peak of interest in BTC came when its price reached a historical maximum at about $69,000, then, the average daily number of active users around the world grew from 100,000 to more than 30 million.

The crisis of last year, such as the collapse of Terra and FTX, exacerbated the situation for this category of market participants.
