ChainCatcher news, Yuga Labs co-founder Wylie Arnow posted on social media, "Those who mocked Fartcoin during this round of the market are now gloating over its pullback as the overall market declines, as if this proves their skepticism was correct. But for me, this reaction is precisely a signal of its dominance.In the historic market of 2021, every pullback of BAYC was accompanied by similar 'I told you so' remarks, only to spark disbelief when it surged again. Fartcoin attracts attention in both bull and bear markets, indicating that it remains the focal point of the broader narrative around financial nihilism, a narrative that (in my view) will not disappear.I sold some to recoup my investment and took profits on a portion at around $1 billion market cap in several other wallets. Other than that, I am still holding and remain one of the top ten holders. Maybe I’m wrong? I’m often wrong. But in any case, I’m having a lot of fun. Also, if my Fartcoin posts annoy you, I apologize. Trading is something I can easily handle when I'm unwell, and Fartcoin is very interesting to me right now."

ChainCatcher message: According to a recent report from Glassnode, the ongoing bull market for Bitcoin marks a significant shift of wealth from long-term holders to new investors, and the redistribution of wealth is a sign of the maturity of the Bitcoin market. Long-term holders have been realizing record profits, peaking at $2.1 billion per day, while new investors have sufficient demand to absorb this supply.According to the report, this trend indicates that the depth and diversity of the Bitcoin ecosystem are continuously expanding, thanks to increased institutional participation and heightened retail interest.In 2024, long-term Bitcoin holders (especially those holding for 6 to 12 months) have become the main contributors to selling pressure. These tokens were primarily acquired earlier this year, accounting for 38.5% of the profits realized since November, totaling $27.3 billion.Meanwhile, Bitcoin held for over three years is relatively stagnant, indicating that higher price levels may be needed to stimulate its sale.The report notes that this is a natural cycle in the Bitcoin market. As prices rise, long-term holders distribute their wealth, allowing new investors to absorb the supply.Despite significant profit-taking by long-term holders, new investors have shown resilience, providing the liquidity needed to maintain Bitcoin's upward momentum. Metrics related to short-term holders (STH) highlight their ability to withstand market adjustments without triggering a chain sell-off.Additionally, compared to previous bull markets, the volatility of the current Bitcoin cycle has also decreased. The maximum drop in August was 32%, significantly lower than the adjustment levels of previous cycles. Analysts attribute this stability to increased institutional participation, while the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs and the widespread acceptance of digital assets have driven this trend. Besides the buying pressure from new retail investors, this institutional demand has also greatly supported the market, ensuring liquidity during sell-offs and supporting price resilience.
