Ethereum Reserves on Binance Fall to Six-Month Low After 100,000 ETH Exit
More than 100,000 ETH exited Binance over a three-day stretch, cutting Ethereum (ETH) reserves on the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange from 3.57 million coins to 3.47 million and pushing the balance to its lowest in six months.
The figures come from CryptoQuant, an on-chain analytics platform, and were published on Friday, October 9.
Binance's Ether reserves are a closely watched on-chain metric, as they measure the amount of ETH held in wallets controlled by the exchange. Because coins held on an exchange are the balances most directly available for trading on that venue, reserve levels are tracked as a gauge of how much supply sits within reach of its order books. Binance ranks as the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, while Ethereum is the second-largest digital asset by market capitalization. Shifts in exchange-held balances can reflect a range of activity, including user withdrawals to self-custody wallets, internal transfers, or movements between trading venues. The CryptoQuant data does not specify the destination or the purpose of the recently departed funds. Since a reserve series moves with the net of deposits against withdrawals over time, subsequent CryptoQuant updates will indicate whether the current six-month low extends into a longer trend or reverses as new balances arrive.
