Bitcoin Long‑Term Holders Stop Selling for First Time Since July
News Brief
Bitcoin long‑term holders (LTHs) have halted net selling for the first time since July, according to on‑chain data, signaling a potential shift in market behavior among some of the ecosystem’s most conviction‑driven participants.
Bitcoin long‑term holders (LTHs) have halted net selling for the first time since July, according to on‑chain data, signaling a potential shift in market behavior among some of the ecosystem’s most conviction‑driven participants.
What the Data Shows
Long‑term holders—typically defined as wallets holding BTC for 155 days or more—had been consistently distributing coins through much of the second half of the year. The latest data now shows:
- Net selling pressure has dropped to zero or turned neutral
- LTH balances have stabilized, ending a multi‑month distribution phase
Why This Matters
Historically, changes in long‑term holder behavior often precede broader market moves:
- Distribution phases tend to occur near local or cycle highs
- Re‑accumulation or holding phases often emerge during consolidation or before renewed upside
The pause in selling suggests LTHs may be regaining confidence in current price levels or choosing to wait for higher valuations.
Market Implications
- Reduced sell‑side pressure on spot markets
- Greater influence from short‑term traders and derivatives flows
- Potential setup for supply tightening if demand remains steady or increases
However, analysts caution that a pause in selling does not automatically imply immediate price appreciation—it may also reflect indecision or consolidation.
What to Watch Next
Key indicators to monitor include:
- Whether LTHs transition from neutral to net accumulation
- Exchange inflows from older coins
- Demand signals such as ETF flows and on‑chain volume
For now, the data marks a notable inflection point: Bitcoin’s long‑term holders have stopped distributing coins for the first time since July, removing a key source of structural sell pressure from the market.

New Trump appointee Miran calls for half-point cut in only dissent as rest of Fed bands together
The post New Trump appointee Miran calls for half-point cut in only dissent as rest of Fed bands together appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stephen Miran, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and US Federal Reserve governor nominee for US President Donald Trump, arrives for a Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee confirmation hearing in Washington, DC, US, on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2025. The Senate Banking Committee’s examination of Stephen Miran’s appointment will provide the first extended look at how prominent Republican senators balance their long-standing support of an independent central bank against loyalty to their party leader. Photographer: Daniel Heuer/Bloomberg via Getty Images Daniel Heuer | Bloomberg | Getty Images Newly-confirmed Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran dissented from the central bank’s decision to lower the federal funds rate by a quarter percentage point on Wednesday, choosing instead to call for a half-point cut. Miran, who was confirmed by the Senate to the Fed Board of Governors on Monday, was the sole dissenter in the Federal Open Market Committee’s statement. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, who had dissented at the Fed’s prior meeting in favor of a quarter-point move, were aligned with Fed Chair Jerome Powell and the others besides Miran this time. Miran was selected by Trump back in August to fill the seat that was vacated by former Governor Adriana Kugler after she suddenly announced her resignation without stating a reason for doing so. He has said that he will take an unpaid leave of absence as chair of the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors rather than fully resign from the position. Miran’s place on the board, which will last until Jan. 31, 2026 when Kugler’s term was due to end, has been viewed by critics as a threat from Trump to the Fed’s independence, as the president has nominated three of the seven members. Trump also said in August that he had fired Federal Reserve Board Governor…
