Over the past three years, there’s been a notable movement in bitcoin holdings. Since September 1, 2020, a whopping 804,000 bitcoin, equivalent to $20.79 billion, has been pulled from centralized exchanges. Notably, 184,000 BTC of that sum, valued at $4.75 billion, was withdrawn in just the last three months.
Billions in Bitcoin Withdrawn from Centralized Exchanges Amid Rising Self-Custody Trend
Centralized exchanges are holding significantly fewer bitcoins (BTC) than they did three years ago. Cryptoquant.com data reveals that on September 1, 2020, trading platforms had a reserve of 2.828 million BTC. Fast forward roughly three years, and that number has dwindled to 2.024 million, marking a decrease of 804,000 BTC. Although BTC holdings on exchanges have consistently decreased over these years, the FTX debacle triggered a substantial decline.
Just before the firm declared bankruptcy in November 2022, exchanges had 2.511 million BTC, indicating a withdrawal of 487,000 BTC since then.
