According to Glassnode, a leading blockchain data and intelligence platform, the bulk of Bitcoin (BTC) has not been HODLed for at least three months, similar to previous Bitcoin market bottoms.
On Saturday, Glassnode tweeted that over 80 percent of the total U.S. dollar money invested in Bitcoin has been untouched for at least three months. The post said, "Over 80 percent of the total USD denominated wealth invested in #Bitcoin has been HODLed for at least 3 months. This signifies that the majority of the $BTC coin supply is dormant, and HODLers are increasingly unwilling to spend at lower prices."
The end of the bear markets in 2012, 2015, and 2018 all experienced comparable amounts of hodling, as reported in the Glassnode chart.
