“Old Coins Moving” describes the on-chain event where digital assets that have remained dormant in wallets for an extended period, typically several months or years, are suddenly transferred. This movement often indicates that long-term holders, who acquired these assets at much lower prices, are beginning to sell or redistribute their holdings. It can signify a shift in market sentiment or a response to significant price appreciation. This action can introduce new supply into the active market.
