Ethereum Supply On Exchanges Reaches New Low Of 14%

On-chain data shows that the percentage of Ethereum supply present on exchanges has set new lows of around 14%.

Ethereum Supply On Exchanges Continues To Go Down

As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the ETH supply present on exchanges has been going down since a while now. It has now hit new lows of about 14%.

The “percentage supply on exchanges” is an indicator that shows the share of the total Ethereum supply stored in wallets of all exchanges.

Usually, this supply present on exchanges is said to be the selling supply of ETH, and so if the indicator’s value goes up, it means there is a higher number of coins in the available sell supply.

Due to supply-demand dynamics of the market, this kind of trend can prove to be bearish for the cryptocurrency’s price.

On the other hand, if the metric’s value moves down, it implies the available supply of Ethereum has reduced. Prolonged such trend can create a supply shock in the market, which can turn out to be bullish for the coin’s price.

As you can see in the above graph, the percent ETH supply on exchanges has shown a steady downtrend during the entire year so far.

Currently, the value of the indicator sits around 14%, a new low. At the start of the year, the metric’s value was about 21% so that in the past year 7% of ETH supply has been taken off exchanges.

Also, back in May, when the price of Ethereum was at similar levels as now, the metric’s value was around 18%, a sizeable difference. Because of this the analyst believes that the current supply shock isn’t fully reflected in the price yet. And that it won’t be long until a difference is seen.

ETH Price

At the time of writing, Ethereum’s price floats around $4.6k, up 10% in the last seven days. Over the past month, the crypto has gained 5% in value.

The below chart shows the trend in the price of the coin over the last five days.
