Quick Take
The cryptocurrency market recorded a notable development yesterday as nearly $400 million worth of Bitcoin was withdrawn from exchanges, marking the third-largest outflow of the digital currency in 2023.
Bitcoin briefly passed $30,000 for the second time in August following rumors of spot Bitcoin ETF approvals within the next 6 months. Interestingly, the majority of these large-scale withdrawals, commonly referred to as ‘whale outflows,’ took place from two major crypto exchanges: Gemini and Bithumb.
Such substantial outflows often signify investors’ intent to hold onto their Bitcoin assets, anticipating a potential appreciation in value.
Alternatively, it can also suggest a shift in the trading strategy, as these Bitcoin holdings could be moved to cold storage for longer-term safekeeping or diversified into other investment vehicles.
