Bitcoin

<h2 id="quick-take">Quick Take</h2> 
<p>New data analysis reveals an unprecedented trend in the circulating supply of Bitcoin. A notable 70% of the supply has not been transacted within the past year, marking an all-time high for supply last active 1+ year. This cohort is experiencing an increased rate of dormancy. This trend, in large part, can be tied back to the actions of investors who made purchases following the collapse of <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/companies/ftx/">FTX</a> last November, seeking to hold onto their investments amidst market uncertainty.</p> 
<p>This trend of increasing dormancy is not an isolated incident but rather part of a broader pattern. Each peak in this cohort continues to surpass the preceding one, indicative of a steadily increasing tendency toward holding.</p>

<p>This behavior is replicated across different cohorts. The supply last active 2+ years ago has reached 57%, while the supply untouched for the past 3+ years has hit 41%. Even more remarkable is that 30% of the supply last active 5+ years ago has also risen to an all-time high. This consistent growth in dormant supply across all cohorts might suggest a prevailing belief in long-term value accrual or, alternatively, indicate a market characterized by caution and holding strategies.</p>
