Analytics provider Santiment posted a tweet stating that Ethereum balances on several crypto exchanges have declined sharply.
Santiment writes:
“To kick off July, Ethereum holders continued to make history by lowering the percent of $ETH held on exchanges to its lowest ratio since November, 2018. Dropping below 18% for the first time in 31 months lowers the risk of a future major selloff.”
The overall balance of ETH on crypto trading platforms has declined to below 18 percent, the lowest since November 2018.
Santiment believes that by moving ETH off exchanges to wallets, users have reduced the chances of a massive ETH sell-off in the near future.
