Illiquid Supply Increase

Definition

Illiquid supply increase refers to a rise in the amount of a cryptocurrency held in wallets that exhibit minimal to no spending activity over an extended period. This metric suggests that a growing portion of the asset’s total supply is being held for long-term investment or storage, rather than being actively traded. An increase in illiquid supply indicates a reduction in available selling pressure on exchanges. It often signals a strengthening belief among holders in the asset’s future value.
