Recent data indicates that inflows of Bitcoin (BTC) from mid-size wallets to Binance have plummeted to a range of 3,000 to 4,000 BTC, marking a significant decline in sell-side activity. This downturn aligns with an uptick in inflows to Coinbase, which recorded approximately 8,500 BTC from similar wallets on April 19. Such inflow trends suggest a shift in trading dynamics as mid-size wallets, typically holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC, show less activity on Binance.
Amr Taha, a crypto analyst, highlighted that the seven-day average for Bitcoin inflows into Binance has significantly decreased from the 5,500 to 6,000 BTC observed during April and May. This reduction indicates a diminished immediate sell-side pressure, as fewer assets are being moved to the exchange. In stark contrast, smaller wallets, defined as those with 1 to 100 BTC, contributed less than 300 BTC on Tuesday, reflecting a limited and contained market flow.
Furthermore, while Coinbase has seen a notable surge in mid-size wallet inflows, other exchanges have not mirrored this trend, resulting in a fragmented market activity landscape. This disparity suggests that the current inflow patterns do not indicate a coordinated distribution phase, reflecting mixed sentiments among traders.
