Bitcoin the largest cryptocurrency has had quite a tough ride since its inception. However, no matter what the market conditions were, a group of HOLDers has continued to maintain strong support despite numerous price corrections.
Bitcoin’s one of the key on-chain metrics showcased a vital sign to narrate or rather highlight a sign of investors’ confidence. The percentage of Bitcoin’s circulating supply held on cryptocurrency exchanges dropped below the 10% mark. This occurred for the first time since the BTC price hit a $3,200 low back in December 2018, at the bottom of crypto winter.
According to on-chain analytics firm Santiment, last month’s volatility in cryptocurrency markets “caused an inflex of BTC moving to exchanges for panic sells.” The low supply being held on exchanges, the firm says, is a “sign of hodler confidence.”
Interestingly, these holders maintained an impressive record of saving their coins regardless of a bear market. Well, the latest data from Glassnode shows, that Bitcoin long-term holders currently own around 90% of the total supply in profit.
