BTC Supply on Exchanges at the Lowest Levels in the Last 5 and a Half Years
While the uncertainty of direction and high volatility in the cryptocurrency market continues, crypto analysis platform Santiment also pointed to the decline in the critical metric with a post on its Twitter account. According to data shared by crypto analytics platform Santiment, BTC supply on cryptocurrency exchanges fell by 5.84%, the lowest levels recorded since December 2017. Pointing to recent data, Santiment said on its Twitter account that the tendency of investors to transfer their BTC to their personal wallets may signal that the risk of new sales on exchanges is decreasing.
But of course, BTC outflows on exchanges may not be due to only one reason. In addition to the expectation of a rise, the decline in confidence in cryptocurrency exchanges may also lead to a decrease in BTC supply on exchanges.
