Bitcoin Long‑Term Holders Stop Selling for First Time Since July
News Brief
Bitcoin long‑term holders (LTHs) have halted net selling for the first time since July, according to on‑chain data, signaling a potential shift in market behavior among some of the ecosystem’s most conviction‑driven participants.
Bitcoin long‑term holders (LTHs) have halted net selling for the first time since July, according to on‑chain data, signaling a potential shift in market behavior among some of the ecosystem’s most conviction‑driven participants.
What the Data Shows
Long‑term holders—typically defined as wallets holding BTC for 155 days or more—had been consistently distributing coins through much of the second half of the year. The latest data now shows:
- Net selling pressure has dropped to zero or turned neutral
- LTH balances have stabilized, ending a multi‑month distribution phase
Why This Matters
Historically, changes in long‑term holder behavior often precede broader market moves:
- Distribution phases tend to occur near local or cycle highs
- Re‑accumulation or holding phases often emerge during consolidation or before renewed upside
The pause in selling suggests LTHs may be regaining confidence in current price levels or choosing to wait for higher valuations.
Market Implications
- Reduced sell‑side pressure on spot markets
- Greater influence from short‑term traders and derivatives flows
- Potential setup for supply tightening if demand remains steady or increases
However, analysts caution that a pause in selling does not automatically imply immediate price appreciation—it may also reflect indecision or consolidation.
What to Watch Next
Key indicators to monitor include:
- Whether LTHs transition from neutral to net accumulation
- Exchange inflows from older coins
- Demand signals such as ETF flows and on‑chain volume
For now, the data marks a notable inflection point: Bitcoin’s long‑term holders have stopped distributing coins for the first time since July, removing a key source of structural sell pressure from the market.

‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure
The post ‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A “combo” ETF Crypto ETF trailblazer Digital Currency Group founder Barry Silbert has reacted to the approval of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC), the very first multi-crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF), describing it as “groundbreaking.” “Grayscale continues to be the first mover, driving new product innovations that bridge tradfi and digital assets,” Silbert said while commenting on the news. Peter Mintzberg, chief executive officer at Graysacle, claims that the team behind the world’s leading cryptocurrency asset manager is working “expeditiously” in order to bring the product to the market. A “combo” ETF The ETF in question offers exposure to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), as well as several other major altcoins, including the Ripple-linked XRP token, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). XRP, for instance, has a 5.2% share of the fund, making it the third-largest constituent. The fund initially debuted as a private placement for accredited investors back in early 2018, and its shares later became available on over-the-counter (OTC) markets. In early July, the SEC approved the conversion of GDLC into an ETF, but it was then abruptly halted for a “review” shortly after this. As of Sept. 17, the fund currently has a total of $915.6 million in assets. Crypto ETF trailblazer It is worth noting that Grayscale is usually credited with kickstarting the cryptocurrency ETF craze by winning its court case against the SEC. The SEC ended up approving Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 and then followed up with Ethereum ETFs. Grayscale’s flagship GBTC currently boasts more than $20.5 billion in net assets, according to data provided by SoSoValue.
