CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost noted in a recent post that on-chain activity among Bitcoin long-term holders (OGs) has picked up significantly. During the current phase of market consolidation, the 90-day moving average of spent UTXOs (STXOs) from investors holding BTC for over five years has risen to around 1,500 BTC. In May this year, the average amount of BTC transferred via UTXOs by this group was only half of the current level. In other words, over the past three months, Bitcoin long-term holders with over five years of holding history have been moving their BTC more frequently. This suggests that the ongoing market consolidation may be amplifying uncertainty among different types of investors, with even early Bitcoin holders who have weathered multiple market cycles starting to adjust their on-chain asset allocations. However, the transfer of BTC by OGs does not mean they are engaging in mass selling. Some funds may simply be moved to other wallets or more secure storage solutions; for example, the recent Coldcard incident may have prompted some holders to proactively adjust how they store their BTC. Therefore, current on-chain data primarily reflects increased activity among the OG group, and one cannot rely solely on UTXO transfer volumes to determine their specific buying or selling intentions.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) released a statement saying that on September 5, after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched ballistic missiles at two U.S. Navy warships patrolling in regional waters, CENTCOM forces struck three Iranian crude oil tankers. A U.S. aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer successfully evaded multiple unprovoked Iranian attacks, with no U.S. casualties. Following the failed Iranian strikes, CENTCOM permanently sank the IRGC’s crude oil tanker *Downy* near Kharg Island and *Stark 1* near Jask. The U.S. military also completely destroyed the unloaded *Kelo* (also known as *Noxon*) in the Gulf of Oman: after the crew was ordered to abandon ship, U.S. forces hit multiple key parts of the vessel, leaving it unseaworthy. These three Iranian tankers are part of a multi-billion-dollar secret network that funds the IRGC and its regional proxies, and Iran was unable to protect the vessels.
