Supply Last Active 2+ years ago hits over 50% of the circulating supply Definition
As investors accumulate and store (or lose) coins for longer periods, we can categorize them based on how long it has been since they last moved on-chain.
This chart displays an overlay of multiple Supply Last Active variants, each shown as a percentage of Circulating Supply.
- Supply Last Active 1+ Yrs Ago 🔴
- Supply Last Active 2+ Yrs Ago 🟠
- Supply Last Active 3+ Yrs Ago 🟢
- Supply Last Active 5+ Yrs Ago 🔵
As longer-term investors accumulate coins, these metrics will tend to rise. Conversely, as long-term investors spend and distribute their coins, this metric will decline, with older coins becoming young again as they change hands.
