Investors saw less shake and rattle even after a 7% dip over the weekend. That calm suggests traders aren’t spooked by every headline anymore.
Based on reports from Glassnode analysts, long-term holders have hoarded a record 14.53 million BTC on a 30-day average as of June 23. That’s about 70% of the crypto asset’s full 21 million supply.
Over 30% of coins in circulation rest with just 216 large entities—think ETFs, exchanges, custodians, and corporate treasuries. When so many coins sit idle, there’s less to fuel frantic trading.
The lower swings hint that Bitcoin is maturing, with more people treating it like a regular asset. A quieter market can draw in more cautious investors. But it won’t stay this tame forever.
Big holders could still spark big moves if they sell large chunks. For now, Bitcoin’s steadier path may mark a turning point—one that blends old-school market behavior with the new forces shaping crypto.
