OG Ethereum investors woke up a few days ago by completing the biggest move of long-dormant coins since early June.<\/p>\n

However, the actual number of ETH that reached exchanges was negligible, which suggests that this unusual activity may reflect wallet reshuffling rather than holders rushing to cash out as the underlying asset continues to fight the $2,700 level.<\/p>\n

Old ETH Woke Up<\/h2>\n

According to data shared by the analytics resource Santiment Intelligence, Ethereum\u2019s Age Consumed metric surged to approximately 580 million token-days on September 30. This was roughly nine times its average weekday level during September and the highest reading since June 2.<\/p>\n

Age Consumed measures the movement of coins based on how long they had previously remained dormant. This means that such a large spike indicates that significant quantities of older ETH were suddenly transferred.<\/p>\n

While this might sound like old holders trying to take advantage of the recent rally that saw ETH surge from $1,500 to $2,700 and book some profits, Santiment reassured that this doesn\u2019t seem to be the case. Exchange supply increased by only around 18,000 tokens on September 30 before declining by approximately 21,000 ETH a day later.<\/p>\n

This relatively insignificant amount suggests that the immediate selling pressure didn\u2019t spike, especially when compared to the roughly 5.9 million coins held on trading platforms.<\/p>\n

In contrast, exchange balances soared by more than 140,000 ETH on June 2, when the Age Consumed metric last registered a massive increase.<\/p>\n

Although Santiment cautioned that it\u2019s impossible to determine who moved the latest batch of dormant ETH, the analysts said previous such moves have coincided with wallet reorganizations rather than outright selling.<\/p>\n
