BTC outflows from major exchanges have been increasing since March 18. As a result, Bitcoin balances reached their eight-month low. On the verge of the March 12 collapse that terrified the crypto industry, the situation was completely opposite. Four days before the 48 percent decline, there was a rapid increase in entries. For followers, this was a sign that whales were ready to dump a large amount.
Crypto money outflow from major exchanges may also show that some investors have lost faith in central exchanges, which seemed stronger than just two months ago. According to the LongHash report, Coinbase had about 1 million BTC in its cold wallets at the end of January.
Despite the dominance of crypto exchanges, entrusting money to third parties is against the idea of monetary sovereignty. For this reason, Proof of Keys Leader Trace Mayer urges BTC holders to take control of their coins.
