#Treehouse Global Community Research: Holder Profile Analysis @Treehouse Official

Treehouse (TREE) is an innovative project that integrates blockchain and environmental finance. Its holder group shows diverse characteristics, including institutional investors, environmental advocates, and DeFi participants. The following are the core findings based on on-chain data and community research:

1. Increase in Institutional Investor Proportion

Recent on-chain data shows that the number of TREE whale addresses (holding over $1 million) has increased by 15%, mainly coming from compliant funds and ESG-themed investment institutions. Some institutions participate in governance by staking TREE and use its carbon verification technology to meet compliance requirements, such as hedge funds incorporating carbon credit assets into their portfolios to reduce carbon tax costs.

2. Long-term Holding by Environmentalists

Community research indicates that 35% of retail holders invest due to their alignment with the carbon neutrality vision, with 60% acquiring environmental credits (such as tETH) through staking $TREE and participating in tangible emission reduction projects like tree planting. These users have an average holding period of over 1 year, significantly higher than the average holding duration of DeFi tokens.

3. Strategic Participation by DeFi Players

About 25% of holders are high-frequency traders, utilizing the high volatility of $TREE to implement grid trading (with an annualized return of 68%) or arbitraging through cross-chain protocols (such as the Polkadot ecosystem). Their behavior is highly correlated with the carbon market policy release cycle, with trading volume surging by 200% when the EU carbon price exceeds €120/ton.

Future Trends

As carbon finance globalizes, TREE holders will further differentiate, but technological transparency and economic incentives remain core advantages for attracting diverse groups.
