TREE NEWS reports: Lisk business development lead Leon Waidmann said on X that BTC and ETH exchange supply trends are sharply diverging. BTC’s exchange supply share stands at 16.5%, while ETH has fallen below 12.7%, a gap of nearly 4 percentage points. BTC’s exchange holdings have stayed relatively stable while ETH continues to flow out of exchanges, pointing to a structural tightening of ETH’s liquid supply on trading venues.
BTC-ETH Exchange Supply Diverges as ETH Keeps Leaving CEXs
The divergence matters less as a price signal than as a structural one: ETH's tradable float on venues is thinning while BTC's sits still, which changes how both assets absorb order flow. It affects traders who rely on exchange liquidity for execution and anyone reading supply metrics as a sentiment proxy. Whether ETH's outflow reflects self-custody, staking, or DeFi deployment is not established here, and that distinction is the open question worth watching.
