Massive Awakening of Ancient Bitcoin Whales: What Happened?
Bitcoin has been making headlines recently with its impressive price performance, surging to local highs above $25,000. At the same time, with the sudden increase in the number of bitcoin wallets that have been inactive for 5 to 7 years, this development has attracted the attention of the crypto community.
According to blockchain analytics firm Glassnode, more than 1.6 million bitcoins have not been moved to inactive addresses in at least five years. By contrast, sudden spikes in activity in older wallets often lead some to speculate that long-term holders are taking profits as the price of bitcoin continues to rise.

Bitcoin’s recent price performance has been impressive, with its value up more than 40% since the start of the year. However, the market is also not lacking in the volatility of last year’s slump in prices.
Despite these setbacks, Bitcoin has managed to recover and resume its upward trajectory. Additionally, a secular decrease in real estate purse activity could indicate that the market is entering a new phase where long-term holders are accumulating more assets.
It remains to be seen whether reduced activity from traditional Bitcoin wallets will have a significant impact on price performance in the coming weeks and months, however, the nature of the signal is generally considered positive for the asset.
