Only 4.9% of all Ethereum is still on trade fairs – offer dries up

In recent weeks, Ethereum (ETH) went through the roof. The digital currency rose from a low point of around $ 1,400 to a new local peak of $ 2,700. Despite the recent correction, we can state that the token is doing well. The performance also leads to a different historical milestone.

Investors choose long term

The amount of Ethereum on Exchanges has dropped to an absolute low point. According to fresh figures from the on-chain analysis platform Santiment, only 4.9% of all ETH is on centralized trading platforms. Such a low percentage has never been observed before, so a historic moment.

What does that mean? Simply put: more and more investors are taking their Ethereum from the stock market and put it safely in their own wallets. They usually do not do that to sell tomorrow, but to hold for the long term. And that is good news for the market. Because if holders prefer to save than sell, then that trust radiates in the future of ETH.

Self -management popular

Although the Ethereum share has been declining at stock exchanges for a long time, we saw an increase at the end of 2024. The digital currency then reached a peak in December of around $ 4,000. Many smart investors then took their chance and sold significant amounts of tokens. It ensured that some ETH was temporarily flowing towards the exchanges. But fortunately that moment was short -lived, since then the falling trend has returned stronger than ever.

Ethereum is not alone in this. The same movement is also visible with Bitcoin (BTC). In the past five years, no less than 1.7 million BTC has been removed from trade fairs. Ethereum is not doing wrong either. Investors collected no less than 15.3 million ETH from trading platforms in the same period.
