Bitcoin OG selling eases as dormant BTC movement hits 4-year low: Galaxy

According to research from Galaxy, the movement of long-dormant Bitcoin reached its lowest level in four years during the second quarter, indicating a significant reduction in selling pressure from long-term holders. The metric "coin days destroyed," which emphasizes older coins, showed a similar decline. Analyst Alex Thorn noted that earlier spikes in activity were driven by veteran holders, or "OGs," taking profits, mirroring patterns from the 2017 bull market. The current low level of dormant coin movement suggests these long-term investors have largely slowed their distribution after a period of elevated selling in 2024 and 2025, opting instead to hold their assets.
