Quick Take
A recent analysis of Ethereum’s supply, visualized through the “HODL waves” chart created by Glassnode, reveals that a significant portion of Ethereum supply remains unmoved over various time frames, indicating a trend of long-term holding among investors. The chart illustrates that over 80% of the Ethereum circulating supply has not moved for six months or longer.

When compared to Bitcoin, 76% of Bitcoin’s supply hasn’t moved for at least six months, according to Glassnode. This comparative analysis suggests that investors increasingly view Ethereum as a speculative store of value, much like Bitcoin. The substantial portion of unmoved Ethereum highlights investor confidence in the long-term potential of the digital asset. CryptoSlate anticipates this trend will persist following the recent approval of spot Ethereum ETFs.
