Have you ever thought about it? The coin you watch every day actually has 80.5% of its circulating supply not actively trading on the market? This is not some conspiracy theory—it's the reality laid out by on-chain data.
The chip distribution of a major exchange is a vivid example. A large amount of tokens are concentrated in the exchange's internal addresses, forming a huge "chip black hole." What’s the result? Market fluctuations outside are almost like artificially controlled "rain"—with an unnaturally strong sense of rhythm. Are you still nervous about the 15-minute K-line swings? That’s naive. The real game rules have long been quietly rewritten.
**What does chip concentration mean?**
Over 80% of the chips are quietly resting in exchange internal addresses, exposing a harsh truth: the pricing power is highly centralized. The selling pressure from the external market is theoretically nearly exhausted. The entire structure is like a large reservoir, with the sluice gates in the hands of a few. The market script has never been so clear.
Every coin that retail investors panic-sell during a pullback could be absorbed by this "black hole," becoming ammunition for the next price surge. The expectations of "vacuum zones" on the technical side actually stem from this extreme chip distribution.
**But there’s an overlooked issue—**
For ordinary holders, what does this "centralized monopoly structure" mean besides price fluctuation expectations?
The answer is harsh: your assets are passively "sleeping." Tokens lying in exchange wallets, aside from betting on their rise, generate no other value. In today’s complex market environment, betting all chips on a single coin’s explosive rise carries risks that are already outrageous. This is the most worth pondering.

Damn, it's the same old story, the exchange's classic way of cutting leeks.
Just watch the show and don't jump in yourself.
80% dormant? Then where are my coins? They've already been dormant in my account.
The truth is, the market makers can pump or dump at will; we're all just bagholders.
Wait, in that case, I need to withdraw quickly.
But on second thought, where does this data come from? Could it be released by some institution to trap people again?
Ah, I've been fooled by this theory again. Maybe I should just keep lying flat.

Retail investors have been freeloading for so many years, is it really just for getting their money back?

80.5% lying in exchange wallets? This liquidity gap is simply a paradise for arbitrageurs.
Wait, I need to carefully examine the price differences between trading pairs… Such extreme chip distribution will inevitably cause abnormal slippage.
Unable to sleep again at 3 a.m., just looking at on-chain data can give a clear view of the entire market structure… This is the real efficiency flaw.
Speaking of which, retail investors really should reflect on their position in this game.
Just focusing on candlestick charts is useless; you need to look at DEX depth, that’s the real truth.

No one was there when bottom fishing, but they all appeared during the dump. LOL
Wait, 80% locked on exchanges? Then what are we actually trading?
Really, instead of studying candlestick charts, it's easier to study exchange addresses. Much less hassle.
It's the game of the big players, retail investors just running alongside. Old trick.
That's why I only look at on-chain data now and ignore the market charts.
All the chips are in their hands, and we're just watching in vain.
No wonder I always miss the opportunity; turns out it’s not my judgment that’s wrong.
No worries, let's keep studying technical analysis. Anyway, the ending is already written.

I've seen through it long ago: retail investors are just the leek holders.
The big players are holding back a major move, waiting for us to panic and sell.
Is it a pump in the vacuum zone? Don't fool around; the pricing power is not in our hands at all.
Instead of staring at the charts, it's better to go out for a walk; anyway, it won't change anything.
80.5% are sleeping on exchanges? That means they're waiting for the moment the wind turns.
This is the game rule: adapt or exit, there is no third way.
