Bitcoin has been on the rise again with positive sentiment returning after Donald Trump revealed plans to reduce tariffs on China. This suggests that an end to the tariff wars which began in January 2025 could be drawing to an end. Taking this as a sign, Bitcoin whales have begun to make moves once again. So far, they have bought almost 20,000 BTC, with BTC exchange outflows rising to levels not seen in over two years. Bitcoin Exchange Outflows Reach February 2023 Levels
According to the on-chain data tracking platform CryptoQuant, more BTC has been flowing out of exchanges at levels that have not been seen in two years. This data was taken on a 100-day moving average basis and shows netflows are down significantly from not only 2025 and 2024, but dating as far back as 2023.

CryptoQuant’s data shows that Bitcoin net flows from all exchanges have crashed by more than 50% in the last year. Currently, it is sitting so low that the last time it was this low was back in January 2023, when the crypto market was just coming out of the impact of the FTX crypto exchange collapse.

When net flows are this low, it suggests that Bitcoin investors are choosing to accumulate rather than sell. It points to withdrawals from exchanges into private storage, with investors holding onto their BTC in anticipation of higher prices before they begin to sell.
“This essentially indicates the highest Bitcoin outflow from exchanges since that date,” CryptoQuant explained in the post. “A review of historical patterns suggests that this could imply re-accumulation of assets by investors.” BTC Whales Are Turning Bullish Again
The recent Bitcoin price rise seems to be driven by bulls who had taken the reduced price to accumulate large amounts of BTC in a very short time. Santiment reported on this development, showing how the 11% Bitcoin price rise could have been driven by the buying activities of these large investors.

The post shows that investors holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC had gone on a buying spree in the last week. In total, they added 19,255 more BTC to their balances in only seven days. This shows that whales had realized how undervalued the BTC price was and had seized the opportunity to secure profits quickly.
At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price was trending around $94,578, showing strong staying power from the bulls. BTC continues to push for higher prices | Source: BTCUSDT on TradingView.com Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
