With ongoing market volatilityand the recent decline in Bitcoin, on-chain data has identified a significant shift in the cryptocurrency’s market activity. CryptoQuant’s datahas revealed a substantial decline in the total amount of Bitcoin held by various Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) in the market. 


As of October 2, the Bitcoin balance of centralized exchanges, according to Coinglass, satat 2.34 million, marking the lowest number in six years. This sharp decline contrasts with the 3.05 million Bitcoin held on exchanges in January this year, highlighting a significant reduction in available supply in just a few months. 


Typically a low Bitcoin balance on centralized exchanges could be an indication of an impending price appreciation, as fewer BTC available on these platforms can create upward pressure on its price due to the limited supply. The reduction in Bitcoin reservescould also be signaling a shift in investor sentiment from selling to accumulating. 


Following Bitcoin’s price dropto around $60,000, various exchanges experienced mass withdrawals from investors. In one of its QuickTake blogs, CryptoQuant describedthis large-scale withdrawal as “the largest outflow of Bitcoin from exchanges since November 2022.”  BTC is now trading at $62,395.

Additional information from CryptoQuant revealsthat institutional investors moved from net selling 5,000 BTC on September 2 to buying 7,000 BTC by the end of the month. This represents the highest daily purchase of Spot Bitcoin ETFs since July 21.  #Bitcoin demand from US spot ETFs is rising.
