Solana’s investor base is demonstrating unwavering confidence as the network sees a shift in the profile of its long-term holders. According to on-chain data from Glassnode, many more Solana addresses are moving into the long-term holder base, which showcases strong conviction from investors who entered the market during the recent 2024 rally.

Solana Investors Hold Firm In Expectation Of Higher Prices

Solana’s rally has slowed down in the past seven days, with the cryptocurrency now exhibiting a notable correction. At the time of writing, Solana is about 18% down from its all-time high of $263.21, a feat which it achieved very recently on November 23. 

Nonetheless, on-chain data from Glassnode, a leading blockchain analytics company, suggests that many Solana investors are opting to hold on to their assets despite the selloff from others. Particularly, long-term holders’ share of wealth locked in the network is growing, with the 6-12 month cohort now holding 27% of the total supply. 

These holders, often referred to as medium-term accumulators, suggest sustained bullish sentiment as they show no inclination to sell in the near term. As recent rally participants, their holding mentality indicates that the cryptocurrency is attracting new long-term holders and not just short-term holders betting on a quick increase in price.

While new long-term holders are increasing their stake, the 1-2 year holding cohort has seen a sharp decline in the past few months. Glassnode data reveals that this group, which represented 48% of the total supply in June, now accounts for less than 5%.
