Data shows that the Realized Cap of this group has dropped from around $14.9 billion to $8.5 billion in the past year. According to analyst Cas Abb\u00e9, this decline is not due to selling.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, most of these coins have simply moved into the 7+ year age band. That means they have stayed in the same wallets, untouched, since being purchased between 2017 and 2019.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThese aren\u2019t weak hands,\u201d Abb\u00e9 said. \u201cThey\u2019ve survived halvings, crashes, FUD waves, and blow-off tops.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Notably, this shift shows that long-term investors continue to hold their positions through changing market conditions. Unlike many assets, Bitcoin is not cycling through new owners as often.
