📊 Bitcoin volatility is currently at historically low levels, but the key driver isn’t market cap — it’s who holds the coins.
Glassnode’s latest analysis shows that Long-Term Holder (LTH) supply explains more of BTC’s realized volatility than market cap, open interest, or turnover. With a large portion of supply sitting with long-term holders, fewer coins are actively circulating in the market, helping suppress day-to-day price swings.
👉 This suggests that holder behavior and supply dynamics may be more important than market size when assessing BTC volatility. A major shift in LTH distribution could eventually bring volatility back into the market. 📈
