A significant increase in inactive bitcoin moves by 121% during the first quarter of 2025

The Bitcoin network has witnessed a noticeable increase in inactive currency movements, indicating a change in the behavior of long -term investors in conjunction with accelerated economic and market turmoil.

The return of life to the old Bitcoin

An analyst on the Cryptoquant platform revealed that the inactive Bitcoin movement increased by 121% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, and about 28,000 inactive Bitcoin moved in the first quarter of last year, while this number increased in 2025 to more than 62,000 Bitcoin.

March 2024 was the most prominent movement of about 19,296 Bitcoin compared to 3,034 in January and 5,678 in February, while in 2025 it moved 24,595 Bitcoin in January, 21,820 in February, and 16,456 in March, all of which are inactive currencies for more than seven years.

Transform in the general mood of investors

The analyst believes that this unusual activity may be a reflection of new economic fears or future expectations about prices, and it may also be the result of some institutions need liquidity.

Glassnode has described the current period as one of the most difficult stages of the session for Bitcoin, noting that many investors are currently facing the largest unreasonable losses since the beginning of their investments.

Although the losses are mainly concentrated among new investors, those who were at the height of the purchase recently and began entering the “long -term investor” category are expected to increase their losses over time, yet this decline remains within the scope of the usual corrections in the emerging markets.

The market regains some of its well -being

During the last week, the Bitcoin price increased by 8.9% despite his record of a daily loss of 2.2%, to settle at the level of 92,164 dollars at the time of writing this report, and it is mentioned that this decline was not limited to Bitcoin only, but also included the entire digital market.

Similar moves in Ethereum

The activity is not only limited to Bitcoin, the Ethereum network has also witnessed similar moves, and in February, a whale transferred its full property of 77,736 Ethereum to the BitFinex platform after six years of stalemate, and in April another whale was monitored by 11,104 Ethereum after eight years of stagnation, including 247.93 Ethereum to Coinbase and the rest to a new wallet.

These moves indicate that some investors are restoring their investment position in a state of economic uncertainty.
