Year-to-date, 36,800 BTC has exited centralized exchanges. This ongoing outflow pattern signals a clear shift: investors are moving coins into self-custody or alternative venues, which tightens the available supply on traditional trading platforms. When exchange balances drop, liquidity becomes more scarce—fewer coins available for easy selling usually puts upward pressure on markets. The trend reflects growing confidence in hodling and a structural change in how Bitcoin holders manage their assets.

Hey, wait a minute, the number 36,800 coins is quite interesting... According to on-chain data, the timing of this exit aligns closely with the behavior patterns of certain large wallet addresses. I need to check which wallets these coins have flowed into. At first glance, it looks like normal hodl behavior, but after tracking multiple addresses, I found many signs of abnormal transaction patterns. Have you noticed? The rhetoric about self-custody sounds nice, but the real logic behind suspicious wallet behavior may not be that simple. After analysis and assessment, it feels less superficial.
