The &#8220;Active Supply&#8221; includes that part of the BTC circulating supply that has been involved in at least one transaction over a given timeframe.<\/p>\n<p>Below is the chart shared by the analyst that shows how the Bitcoin Active Supply has changed for a few different age bands over the last couple of years.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/Gc65_fRXIAAM0-Q?format=jpg&amp;name=4096x4096\" alt=\"Bitcoin Active Supply\" width=\"2382\" height=\"1366\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From the graph, it&#8217;s visible that the age bands on the younger side like 1 month to 3 months and 3 months to 6 months have been observing growth recently, which suggests the relatively recent supply has been churning as a result of the price surge. The older bands, however, have been more or less showing a sideways movement on this indicator.<\/p>\n<p>The chart displays all the Active Supply bands up to the 1 year to 2 years group stacked on top of each other, to showcase what percentage of the total supply that they make up for.<\/p>\n<p>It would appear that these Active Supply bands add up to 46%, meaning that less than half of the cryptocurrency&#8217;s supply in circulation has witnessed some movement within the past couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>The 2-year cut off currently sits in November 2022, when the last Bitcoin bear market reached a bottom. Given the trend in the Active Supply, it seems that the investors who bought during and prior to the bottom have largely decided to HODL.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, this is despite the fact that the asset&#8217;s value has seen an uplift of more than 500% since then. &#8220;HODLing isn&#8217;t just a meme,&#8221; notes the Glassnode co-founder.<\/p>\n<p>Statistically, the longer investors hold onto their coins, the less likely they become to participate in selling, so considering that 54% of the supply hasn&#8217;t seen movement for over two years now, it&#8217;s possible a lot of these holders would only continue to sit tight in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>In some other news, the Deribit exchange has observed massive Bitcoin outflows during the past day, as an analyst has pointed out in a CryptoQuant Quicktake <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/insights\/quicktake\/674047dba25bda12c1097664-The-DERIBIT-options-exchange-has-seen-a-massive-outflow-of-233000-bitcoins-and-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/img.cryptoquant.com\/4545\/quicktake\/TxJQegjNr_a6cc28ca3cfc6b576fd666579a764279f4886a5106d46d1113f5d80b7e5643ff.png?resize=1280%2C720&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bitcoin Netflow\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In total, users of the platform have transferred out a net 31,000 BTC to their self-custodial wallets with these transactions.
