Investor Cohort Shift

Definition

An investor cohort shift describes a noticeable change in the demographic, behavioral patterns, or investment strategies of distinct groups of participants within a market. In cryptocurrency, this might involve a transition from retail-dominated trading to increased institutional participation, or a change in the average holding period for assets. Such shifts can significantly influence market dynamics, liquidity, and price stability. Observing these changes helps analysts understand evolving market structures.
