Bitcoin exchange balances fall to lowest since April 2018

According to Glassnode data, since mid-March 2020, the amount of Bitcoin stored in exchange wallets has significantly decreased, marking a significant shift in investor behavior. At that time, more than 17% of the total Bitcoin supply was held on exchanges, reaching a historic high. However, the trend of decreasing exchange balances has continued, even during the 2021 Bitcoin bull market and is expected to continue until 2024. The amount of Bitcoin held on exchanges has continued to decline this year. From January 1st to February 19th, the amount of Bitcoin in exchange wallets decreased from 2.356 million BTC to 2.314 million BTC, the lowest level since April 2018.
