Definition ∞ An ownership shift refers to a change in the primary holders or distribution of a digital asset, indicating a transfer of a substantial portion of its supply among different investor categories. This can involve movements from short-term speculators to long-term holders, or from retail investors to institutional entities. Such shifts often have implications for future price stability and market dynamics.
Context ∞ On-chain data analysis frequently tracks ownership shifts for cryptocurrencies to understand market structure and potential future price action. A notable ownership shift from less committed participants to more steadfast holders, for example, might suggest a maturing asset base and reduced selling pressure. These movements provide insights into the conviction levels of various market participants.
