The unmoved supply of Bitcoin (BTC) reached an all-time high in June, with nearly 70% of the circulating supply not moving for a year, a report from asset manager Ark Invest has said.

The report, titled “The Dawn of the ETF Era?” focused on the potential for a new spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) to bring new momentum to the Bitcoin market, while also pointing to on-chain data as a catalyst for price appreciation going forward.

In particular, the steadily rising share of the circulating BTC supply that is in the hands of long-term holders confirms that the holder base is “strengthening,” according to the firm.

It added that with nearly 70% of coins held for at least one year, long-term holders’ share of the Bitcoin pie has now reached an all-time high “both in relative and absolute terms.”

Increased institutional interest

According to the firm, the bullish sign from the long-term holders come as more financial institutions are showing an interest in the number one cryptocurrency.

Notably, BlackRock, the Wall Street giant known as the world’s largest asset manager, last month applied to list a spot Bitcoin ETF along with other large asset managers such as Invesco, Fidelity and WisdomTree.
