Looking at Glassnode’s chart, the current rate of BTC leaving crypto exchange platforms is at its highest in over four years.
“Just 6.95% of Bitcoin is sitting on exchanges, according to Santimentfeed data. There had already been a gradual shift in BTC moving into self-custody going back to Black Thursday (Mar 2020). But with the FTX fallout, this trend has accelerated.”
Earlier this month, Santiment noted that crypto has a history of bouncing when market participants shift their focus away from digital asset exchanges.
“Crypto generally thrives when exchanges are NOT a focal point. The most impactful exchange collapse ever will have lasting shockwaves. But as shown, the key for a turnaround will likely be focus moving away from exchange tokens and back to Bitcoin.”
