Long-Term Bitcoin Buyers Aren’t Selling A Single Coin Despite Recent Market Selloff: Report

Cryptocurrencies have been scaling some unchartered waters as of late, with huge dips and humbling ticks in the past 3 weeks defining the struggle of coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

As pointed out by Glassnode, a blockchain analytics firm that provides crypto market intelligence and exchange data, what’s common in all BTC movement cycles is how long-term holders (LTHs) have kept the majority of their assets intact throughout preceding bull runs.

If you look at the trends closely, the market volumes of young coins has declined due to weak investor sentiment in the past few months. In comparison, the BTC volume has strikingly held its shape throughout the period, despite losing value, which, according to Glassnode, is because of the long-term BTC investors who had accumulated their holdings in 2020, which suggests that “LTHs aren’t panic selling during the current volatility and most likely to re-accumulate than cashing out”.
