Here's an interesting shift in American wealth dynamics: back in 1989, seniors aged 70+ controlled roughly 19% of household wealth. Fast forward to today—that number has climbed to 31%. The aging population isn't just growing in numbers; they're concentrating an increasingly significant portion of the nation's financial assets. This trend raises questions about wealth distribution, generational asset flows, and how economic cycles shape investment patterns across different demographics. Whether you're thinking about long-term portfolio strategy or understanding macro trends, this data point deserves attention.

Elderly people hold most of the wealth, and young people are really being squeezed dry...

The percentage of seniors managing their wealth has increased from 19% to 31%. Does this mean locking all the money into nursing homes?

It's a bit outrageous. The proportion of people born in the 70s skyrocketed from 19% to 31%... How will young people manage like this next year?

31%？The on-chain footprint behind this number is what really matters. The migration trajectory of elderly wallet addresses has directly exposed everything. Recently, early holding addresses have been unusually active. The signals of dormant wallets waking up are already very obvious. Who still cares about macro data? From 19% to 31%, more than a decade of doubling... Where did the funds go? I’ve tracked the original addresses, and suspicious fund flows never lie. Isn’t this just a real-world version of wealth concentration? The powerful are always in control, and numbers are just illusions. So the question is—where will those suddenly active large wallets transfer their funds next? I bet ten Ethereum that there will be abnormal transaction patterns.
