Exchange Supply Depletion

Definition

Exchange supply depletion signifies a reduction in the amount of a digital asset held on cryptocurrency exchanges. This on-chain metric indicates that a substantial quantity of coins is being moved off exchanges into private wallets or other custodial solutions. Such a trend suggests a preference for long-term holding rather than immediate selling, thereby reducing the readily available supply for trading. A sustained depletion often signals bullish sentiment and potential future price appreciation due to reduced selling pressure.
