Old Coin Dormancy measures the average time that spent coins have remained unspent on the blockchain, indicating how long holders have retained their assets before moving them. A rising dormancy suggests that older coins are becoming more active, potentially signaling long-term holders realizing profits or reallocating capital. Conversely, low dormancy indicates that recently acquired coins are being moved, often by short-term traders. It provides insight into the spending behavior of different investor cohorts.
