Bitcoin reached record highs this week while experiencing its lowest daily exchange inflows in over a decade, signaling remarkably low selling pressure according to Cryptoquant research.
Minimal Rush to Sell: Cryptoquant Reports Dwindling Exchange Inflows Across Major Cryptos
Cryptocurrency analytics firm Cryptoquant reports that despite bitcoin achieving new all-time highs this week, daily exchange inflows plummeted to just 18,000 BTC, the lowest level observed since April 2015.
This significant drop in coins moving to exchanges, where selling typically occurs, indicates minimal immediate selling pressure from new capital flows entering trading platforms, as documented by Cryptoquant. Large bitcoin holders also show restraint, Cryptoquant data reveals.
The daily volume of bitcoin sent to centralized exchanges in batches of 100 BTC or more drastically declined from 62,000 BTC on November 26, 2024, to just 7,000 BTC currently, further showcasing the reduced selling pressure identified by the team of researchers.
Similarly, ethereum exhibits low selling pressure based on Cryptoquant’s analysis. Daily ETH inflows into exchanges stand at 584,000 ETH, the lowest since October 2024 and down sharply from 1.57 million ETH in February 2025. This inflow decline coincided with an 87% ETH rally since early April, Cryptoquant notes.
Cryptoquant researchers also tracked significantly reduced activity from XRP whales. Daily large holder inflows to exchanges peaked at 1.1 billion XRP in February 2025 but have since fallen 85% to just 169 million XRP, indicating these major holders are largely refraining from selling, according to the report.
Finally, Cryptoquant analysts observe that total daily transactions sending altcoins into exchanges remain muted at just 21,000. This contrasts sharply with spikes near 120,000 seen during previous local price tops in March and December 2024, reinforcing Cryptoquant’s assessment of a prevailing low-pressure environment across the broader crypto market.
