Exchanges Have Been Seeing Net Bitcoin Outflows Recently
An analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake explained that investors have been withdrawing their coins from exchanges recently. The relevant indicator here is the “exchange netflow,” which measures the net amount of Bitcoin currently moving into or out of the wallets of all centralized exchanges. The metric’s value is calculated as the outflows subtracted from the inflows.
When this indicator’s value is positive, the inflows are more significant than the outflows right now; hence, a net number of coins is moving into these platforms.The value of the metric seems to have been red in recent days | Source:
As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin exchange’s netflow had been positive during the crash earlier in the month, implying that net deposits had occurred.
These inflows would have been from the investors taking part in the selloff and from those panic selling just after the selloff had occurred. This indicator tracks the combined data for both spot and derivative platforms, so a chunk of these inflows is bound to be coming from those looking to speculate on the futures market.As analyst James V. Straten has on X, many of these outflows have come from the Bybit platform alone.
