The data presented here illustrates two crucial metrics: the percentage of BTC deposits on exchanges from long-term holders (155+ days) and Coin Days Destroyed (CDD). The first metric measures the selling activity of seasoned investors, while the second measures the movement of older Bitcoin.
The charts showed that only a small portion of deposits on exchanges came from long-term holders, indicating their continued confidence in Bitcoin’s value. Furthermore, low CDD levels showed that older coins have remained largely unmoved, indicating the inactivity of dormant BTC.
These insights pointed to the fact that seasoned investors are not only holding on to their investments, but actively choosing to avoid short-term speculation.
Together, these numbers underscored how the actions of long-term holders anchor the market, reduce sell-side pressure and contribute to Bitcoin’s stability. Even in periods of volatility.

Bitcoin – How are LTHs the key to stability?
The holding of Bitcoin by long-term holders throughout market cycles creates a supply floor, reducing the availability of BTC for speculative trading. This behavior dampens panic-induced sell-offs and promotes a more predictable price environment.
Unlike short-term traders, LTHs operate from conviction rather than immediate profit motives. This strengthens BTC’s status as a long-term asset. By keeping a significant part of the circulating supply outside the exchanges, they limit liquidity shocks, creating a stabilizing effect that strengthens market confidence.
Their influence ensures that BTC remains stable even amid fluctuations caused by private and institutional speculation.
