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.

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

How Social Platform Chingari is Using Web 3.0 to Transform the Traditional Way We Use Social Media

The world is changing. This isn’t news to anyone, but sometimes it is nice to realize that—contrary to news headlines—not all the change is bad.  In fact, the last decade has seen so much innovation and so many improvements to technology that even 2015 seems like a different world.  Internet speeds, connecting with anyone globally (for free), and our ability to reach large groups of people without a middleman is nothing short of revolutionary. When it comes to technology evolution, this often happens with different iterations.  Once a system is mature, there’s a better idea of what we would like to change and improve.  We go back to the drawing board, target our creative minds at the issues, and create a new version that has evolved to better meet our needs.  The Internet has followed this model since its inception, evolving through three distinct stages.  We are only at the cusp of the third stage, called Web 3.0, with technologies such as blockchain and ...

Osprey sues Grayscale for misrepresenting likelihood of GBTC ETF approval

Osprey alleges its only competitor on the BTC OTC trust asset market gained its 99.5% market share by misrepresenting the likelihood of its trust becoming an ETF. Digital asset manager Osprey Funds filed suit against Grayscale Investments in Connecticut Superior Court on Jan. 30, alleging violation of the state’s Unfair Trade Practices Act. The suit concerns Grayscale advertising and promotion of the Bitcoin ( BTC ) exchange-traded fund (ETF) it is seeking to create.  Osprey stated in the suit that it is the only competitor to Grayscale on the over-the-counter traded Bitcoin trust asset management market, and Grayscale maintained its leading position through deceit: “Only because of its false and misleading advertising and promotion has Grayscale been able to maintain to date approximately 99.5% market share in a two-participant market despite charging more than four times the asset management fee that Osprey charges for its services.” Specifically, Osprey alleged that Graysc...
