Bitcoin Exchange Balances on the Decline, Where are the Funds Going to?

The Bitcoin (BTC) balance on exchanges is on the decline, at least, for the past few weeks, as highlighted by Glassnode’s on-chain data. There seems to be an increase in the demand for accumulated BTC on trading platforms, a trend that brings into question where the funds are going into.



Bitcoin has seen a tumultuous 1 year, and the current balance on exchanges has reached a new multi-year low of 13.0% of circulating supply this week. This level has not been seen since February 2018 where the price of Bitcoin was hovering around $6,000 to $10,000. According to Glassnode, the turning point which defined the current valuation of Bitcoin began following the broad market crash of March 2020, in which prices were lowered to $3,800. 



The crash at the time also affected the mainstream financial market, and it gave a number of institutional investors the needed impetus to consider investing in the premier cryptocurrency. The adoption by the institutional investors pushed the price of Bitcoin to a high of $64,000, with consistency amongst the investors to date.

The current Bitcoin exchange outflows trend is also reflective in the imbalance in the negative (outflows) exchange net-flow reading this week, with current BTC outflows occurring at a rate of -92k BTC/month. Per the Glassnode data, the market clearly shifted paradigm after March 2020, from a regime of net exchange inflow dominance to outflow dominance.



So Where are the Funds Going?



Cryptocurrency exchanges are typically the major way laymen acquire their Bitcoin assets, and many often use the exchange wallets to keep custody of the purchased digital coins. However, Glassnode pointed out that most of these funds are going into investor wallets.



“Overall, the net balance across exchanges has continued to decline as the inflows observed in May are absorbed by the market and moved to investor wallets.”



Additionally, the rollout of custodial services is on the rise across the board. Typically, employing the services of platforms with custodial products offers a certain level of confidence to investors, as funds are notably secure from exploitation by cybercriminals. In all, there was modest profit-taking amongst investors in the previous week, a trend that also contributed to the outflow of Bitcoin from trading platforms.

TL;DR Breakdown - US legislatures aim to impose massive tax on crypto actos - Cryptoers says legislature move aims to kill crypto Stakeholders and other crypto industry members are currently revolting moves by the US legislature to subject cryptocurrency investors to massive tax obligations. According to members of the crypto community, the crypto tax amendment would have severe backlash on the emerging crypto space. In a petition by a group, FightFortheFuture, they are fronting a call to the senate to save crypto describing their action as a red alert. The petition noted that the provision being debated by the US Senators is so poorly written that it could crush the cryptocurrency ecosystem and dramatically expand US government surveillance.

NFT project partners with Afghanistan organization to help women get access to education

“This is a generation that grew up hopeful and dreaming about their future through educational opportunities,” said Women for Afghan Women’s U.S. country director Naheed Samadi Bahram. Non-fungible token company Bookblocks.io has partnered with a New York-based organization to help women in Afghanistan have access to education amid the Taliban takeover. Bookblocks.io announced it would be releasing a non-fungible token, or NFT, on Oct. 5 with the proceeds given to Women for Afghan Women, an organization which helps provide women access to education and vocational training in both Afghanistan and the United States.
