In February, miners withdrew a total of 36,000 bitcoins from cryptocurrency exchanges. Analysts from CryptoQuant reported that over 12,000 BTC were withdrawn from the largest trading platform, Binance.
An additional 24,000 BTC were taken out during the same period from several smaller exchanges. On one particular day, the withdrawal volume reached 6,000 BTC in a single day, marking the highest level since November of the previous year. Such a broad scope indicates a trend rather than isolated transactions, according to analysts.
“The unprecedented volume of withdrawals and the consistent nature of this phenomenon suggest that the market is entering a phase of asset redistribution, primarily driven by miners. This scenario could influence future price movements and alter the balance of supply and demand in the short term,” blockchain specialists clarified.

CryptoQuant experts interpret these developments as a signal of a shift in storage strategies and liquidity management. Miners have begun transferring assets to cold wallets, opting not to keep bitcoins on exchanges. This indicates a move towards long-term storage of cryptocurrencies, analysts suggested.
“The reduction in supply on the spot market may indicate an increase in miners’ confidence regarding the future rise in bitcoin’s value. By withdrawing assets from exchanges, market participants effectively decrease the number of coins available for sale, which is traditionally viewed as a sign of optimistic expectations,” the experts added.
The cryptocurrency market is currently entering a new phase, where the focus shifts from the euphoria and panic of retail investors to discipline: institutional investors are increasingly investing in cryptocurrency, contributing to market stability, according to analysts from WisdomTree.
