Рынок биткоинов оживает: рекордное перемещение спящих активов Translation: Bitcoin market awakens: record movement of sleeping assets

The volume of digital gold that has been moved since the beginning of the year, which has remained inactive for more than seven years, has reached a historic high. This was noted by analysts at OnChainSchool.

In 2023, the figure reached 59,000 BTC, in 2024 it increased to 255,000, and for the incomplete year of 2025, it stands at 270,000.

«An increasing number of early-era coins are starting to move,» the researchers emphasized.

They identified potential reasons for this occurrence:

«If the trend continues, the volume of moved coins in 2025 may exceed 300,000 BTC,» analysts shared in their forecast.

On-chain expert known by the nickname Darkfost highlighted the most concerning factor in the current market situation:

«After peaking at 14,000 BTC in realized profit, long-term holders are still locking in about 12,000 BTC today—a consistently high figure.»

However, the analyst pointed out that this number is gradually declining as the cycle progresses. At the first local peak, it was 26,000 BTC, then it dropped to 24,000 BTC, and recently fell to 17,000 BTC.

In the context of short-term prospects, the expert entertained two possible scenarios:

In conclusion, Darkfost urged close monitoring of this metric.

Similarly, analyst Axel Adler noted a decrease in «speculative pressure»:

«On a bullish market, such figures align with periods of position accumulation before a new growth phase.»

To initiate a rally, a decline in volatility and «the absence of negative factors in the world for at least a week» is required, added the expert.

As a reminder, recently, whales sold 17,500 BTC amid a market downturn.
