Galaxy Research data shows that on-chain movement of dormant bitcoin fell to its lowest level since 2022 in the second quarter of this year. It is expected that total movement for all of 2026 will be less than half of last year’s. Alex Thorn, head of Galaxy Research, said that so far they have not found any whale clients they have encountered choosing to sell bitcoin due to quantum computing risks, though some institutional investors have indeed temporarily delayed new purchases for that reason.
