Ethereum and Bitcoin Exchange Holdings Hit Record Lows

Data shows that Ethereum’s exchange supply has fallen below 4.9%, a historic low, while Bitcoin’s exchange supply reached its lowest point since November 2018 at 7.1%. This decrease signifies strong investor sentiment as they are holding onto their crypto assets for the long term. Ethereum’s historic decline coincides with growing interest in staking and decentralized finance (DeFi), which limits its liquid availability. Bitcoin, on the other hand, continues to see dominance by long-term holders who haven’t sold off their coins significantly, further decreasing the possibility of mass selling. 4.9% is a record low for Ethereum exchange supply. This shift in investor behavior reflects a move away from short-term speculation and toward seeing crypto as a long-term investment asset. The decreased availability on exchanges suggests this market may show more stability or even upward pressure due to a reduced supply available to meet demand.
