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.

Bitcoin Recovers, but will BTC Bulls Pump Prices to $50k?

Bitcoin prices have been both hot and cold. The freeze of September 20 was countered by the warmth of September 22, which offered a relief rally for permabulls. When writing, BTC prices are pretty much constant, oscillating within a tight range above January 2021 highs. Waving Bitcoin Price Action The bounce from the expected reaction zone was a sigh for traders who, after September 20 dip, expected the worst. Admittedly, even with these losses, the uptrend is still shaky from an Effort-versus-Results perspective. For example, in the weekly chart, there is a double bar bearish reversal pattern. At the same time, in the daily chart, BTC prices are still trending below the 20-day moving average. Besides, despite the recovery of September 22, the bar has lighter trading volumes. From volumes analysis, this is week and doesn’t bode well for chartists who still sense weakness in the uptrend, potentially more room for even more losses in the days ahead.

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. The artwork, inspired by American author Louisa May Alcott, features half a woman’s face covered by a single butterfly wing with the quote “nothing is impossible to a determined woman.” When the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in the 1990s, they banned education for almost all women and girls. History has practic...
