Bitcoin News: Bitcoin Exchange Supply Hits 7-Year Low, Signaling Long-Term Holding Trend

A new milestone has been reached in the world of Bitcoin, as the amount of the cryptocurrency held on exchanges has hit its lowest level in over seven years. This development could have significant implications for the future of Bitcoin’s price and investor sentiment.

Bitcoin Exchange Supply Hits 7-Year Low

Bitcoin’s presence on crypto exchanges has reached its lowest level in over seven years, signaling a shift toward long-term holding behavior among investors. According to data from Santiment, only 7.53% of Bitcoin’s total supply is currently held on exchanges—the lowest ratio since February 20, 2018. This drop in exchange supply reflects reduced short-term sell pressure. When coins move off exchanges into cold storage or custodial solutions, it typically indicates that holders are not planning to sell in the near term. This trend can help insulate the market from sudden downturns, as fewer coins are readily available for spot selling.
