Investors Are Withdrawing BTC from Exchanges to Wallets

According to the data, Bitcoin (BTC) is being transferred from crypto exchanges to the wallets of long-term investors. Glassnode says that a stable BTC outflow rate from exchanges indicates a significant accumulation wave by HODLers or entities with little selling history;

“BTC supply continues to move out of exchanges, miners, and whale wallets and into the wallets of HODLers at a healthy pace.”

The company states that similar accumulation periods have come before other Bitcoin bull market cycles.

Glassnode’s data also shows that Bitcoin’s illiquid supply has reached an all-time high (ATH). Illiquid supply of Bitcoin is a term used to refer to the amount of BTC held by entities that historically hold at least 75% of their coins. Glassnode stated the following;

“This observation supports the divergence between coin held in wallets with almost no history of spending and coin held on exchanges. The illiquid supply reached a new ATH this week at 15.2M BTC, while exchange balances dropped to their lowest level since January 2018 at 2.3M BTC.”
