Considering the sheer amount of ETH involved, investors may be planning to hold onto their assetsrather than sell them. Data for IntoTheBlock indicates that approximately 74% of ETH investors have been HODLingfor over a year, highlighting a widespread trend amongst investors to retain their assets. 

The last time Ethereum exchanges experienced outflows at such a high level was in November 2024. At the time, Bitcoin (BTC)and Dogecoin (DOGE)were the highlight of the market, experiencing massive gains following Donald Trump’s winin the United States (US) Presidential elections. 

In contrast, Ethereum saw less impressive gains, struggling to break through resistance levels to reach new highs. Given ETH’s current volatilityand price fluctuations, it would not be surprising if investors decided to sell off their holdingsto prevent potential losses. However, the reverse seems to be the case, as these investors are holding on to their assets, possibly banking on a possible price increase in the future. 

Confirming the massive ETH outflows from exchanges, CryptoQuant highlighteda decrease in overall selling pressure in the Ethereum market. The blockchain analytics platform disclosed that while inflows and outflows have increased slightly, net flows stay negative.
