Quick Take
In the face of contemporary geopolitical instability and market unpredictability, Bitcoin exchanges are experiencing intense volatility in their inflows and outflows.
OKX Exchange, for instance, yesterday, Oct. 18, saw the largest Bitcoin inflow in almost three years, with approximately 8,000 Bitcoin valued at around $224 million.
Interestingly, this significant inflow is the largest since Nov. 2020, a period that also coincided with OKX’s largest outflow in the past three years. This simultaneous event of large inflows and outflows draws attention to Nov. 2020 as the inception of the previous cycle’s bull run.
Presently, OKX holds a year-to-date high of approximately 143,000 Bitcoin, the most since January 2021.
