    Onchain Highlights

    DEFINITION: Lost or HODLed Bitcoins indicates moves of large and old stashes.

    Bitcoin’s HODLed or lost coins have displayed notable fluctuations this year. Data from Glassnode shows a sharp decline in HODLed or lost coins around late May 2024, coinciding with Bitcoin’s price surge to roughly $70,000. This drop, from approximately 7.95 million BTC to around 7.7 million BTC, suggests a significant movement of long-dormant coins into circulation, possibly indicating profit-taking by long-term holders and movements from Grayscale wallets.

This trend highlights the correlation between Bitcoin’s market price and the activity of long-term holders. As Bitcoin’s price fluctuates, monitoring the HODLed or lost coins metric provides valuable insights into market sentiment and potential future price movements.
