Since the start of this year, a massive 36.8K BTC has flowed out from cryptocurrency exchanges. This trend signals growing confidence among major holders, who are increasingly choosing to self-custody their Bitcoin holdings rather than keeping them on centralized trading platforms. The persistent outflow pattern reflects a shift in market sentiment—large investors are moving to accumulate and secure their positions independently, rather than maintaining exchange exposure.

36.8K BTC outflow from exchanges? Isn't this just big players accumulating coins at the bottom? Damn, I'm caught again. --- On-chain data is so obvious, Bitcoin is about to take off, right? Why is my account still bleeding? --- Self-custody, huh? I want that too, but I need to successfully bottom out first. --- How do you interpret this distribution of chips? Can any expert analyze the technical aspect? --- Something's off. The whales are quietly building positions. This is a sign of an upcoming move. FOMO is intense. --- 36.8K? I only hold 0.008. Is this the gap between the rich and the poor? --- Those who pre-positioned must be making a fortune. I'm just looking at charts and talking. It's really absurd. --- Coin issuance by exchanges = buy-the-dip signal. I've believed this logic ten times, and I lost every time.
