On-chain data shows the Ethereum Exchange Reserve has plunged by more than 1 million ETH over the past month. What does this mean for the asset? Ethereum Exchange Reserve Has Seen A Sharp Decline In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about the latest trend in the Exchange Reserve of Ethereum. The “Exchange Reserve” here refers to an on-chain indicator that keeps track of the total amount of ETH that’s sitting in the wallets associated with centralized exchanges. When the value of this metric goes down, it means the investors are withdrawing a net number of coins from these platforms. Generally, holders take their coins to self-custodial wallets when they plan to hold into the long term, so such a trend can be a bullish sign for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Bitcoin Remains Flat—And The SSR Ratio Might Explain Why On the other hand, the indicator’s value observing a decline suggests the inflows into exchanges outweigh the outflows. As one of the main reasons why investors use exchanges is for selling-related purposes, this kind of trend could be bearish for the asset’s price. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows how the Exchange Reserve for Ethereum has changed during the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the Ethereum Exchange Reserve has seen a sharp drop recently, implying the investors have withdrawn a large amount of the asset. More specifically, the holder have taken out more than 1 million tokens of the cryptocurrency (worth about $3.8 billion at the current price) from the exchanges over the past month. Alongside this withdrawal spree, the ETH price has enjoyed a bull rally beyond the $3,800 level, indicating that the accumulation wave could be a driving factor behind it. The Exchange Reserve may be to keep an eye on now, as where it heads next could also end up having an effect on the asset. In some other news, the Ethereum Taker Sell Volume has just seen a sharp spike, as CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn has pointed out in an X post. The Taker Sell Volume here refers to a metric that keeps track of the volume of sell orders (in USD) that are being filed by traders in Ethereum perpetual swaps. From the chart, it’s apparent that this metric has just observed two huge spikes. Across these, Taker Sell Volume has totaled at a whopping $2.68 billion.

Bitcoin is gradually regaining its footing after a brief pause in its upward momentum. At the time of writing, the asset is trading above $118,000, reflecting a 10% increase over the past month. Despite this modest recovery, Bitcoin remains approximately 3.1% below its all-time high, which was reached earlier this month. The current market phase suggests a period of cautious recalibration, as traders assess the sustainability of the latest price movements amid fluctuating on-chain and exchange metrics. One of CryptoQuant’s QuickTake contributors, Darkfost, has drawn attention to a key trend among short-term Bitcoin holders. According to his analysis, on-chain traders, those actively buying and selling on spot markets, are only seeing 13% unrealized gains at present. This segment refers to holders of BTC aged between one and three months, who typically represent more reactive and sentiment-driven behavior. Compared to prior bull cycles, where profits reached as high as 232% in 2012 and 150% in 2021, the current cycle has shown far more restrained profitability, peaking at just 69% before slipping lower. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rally Signal? Analyst Links Binance Spot Volume Surges To Price Upswings Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Behavior Points to Caution Darkfost emphasized that even though Bitcoin’s price remains close to record highs, the current low profit margins held by short-term investors, whose realized purchase price averages around $104,000, may explain the lack of widespread selling. These holders may be waiting for stronger gains before taking profits. However, the analyst warned that if market conditions deteriorate further and these holders start to incur losses, their eventual capitulation could lead to a rapid sell-off. Historically, such capitulations have coincided with price corrections, but also presented entry opportunities for longer-term investors seeking favorable market conditions. In a related post, fellow CryptoQuant contributor BorisVest explored activity among large Bitcoin holders. He noted that whale inflows to Binance have risen sharply, with the 30-day cumulative inflow metric jumping by $1.2 billion in a single day on July 25. This sudden surge coincided with downward price pressure and a rejection at the $120,000 level, sending Bitcoin back toward the $115,000–$116,000 range. BorisVest highlighted that although retail investors have also been transferring coins to exchanges, their activity remains relatively modest in comparison, suggesting that large holders are playing a more dominant role in current market moves. Whale Inflows Add Pressure to Key Support Zone The imbalance between retail and whale inflows is creating a fragile support structure, according to BorisVest. The analyst pointed out that if the current support range around $115,000 fails to hold, Bitcoin could decline toward the $110,000 level. Related Reading: Bitcoin Eyes Bounce off This Support Level In Reversal Campaign For $121,000 Conversely, a strong rebound from this area might set the stage for another push toward the $121,000 mark or even new record highs. The market’s direction in the near term is expected to hinge on how effectively buying demand can absorb the current wave of whale-driven selling.

Bitcoin (BTC) surged 28% in July, reaching highs near $123,200, fueled by growing institutional adoption and strategic accumulation. Tokyo-listed Metaplanet led the charge, purchasing 780 BTC worth $93 million, bringing its total holdings to 17,132 BTC valued at $1.7 billion. The firm aims to acquire 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply, 210,000 BTC, by 2027, signaling aggressive long-term confidence. Related Reading: Bitcoin Short Squeeze Incoming As Market Makers Set Trap To Go Above $123,000 Despite Bitcoin’s rally, Metaplanet’s stock fell 40% year-to-date due to valuation concerns and investor profit-taking.

Analysts suggest that Metaplanet’s strategy could shape institutional treasury models in volatile macroeconomic conditions. Bitcoin's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: BTCUSD on Tradingview $111,500: Bitcoin’s New Strategic Buy Zone Technical analysts now view the $111,500 level as a key support zone, marking a significant resistance-turned-support flip. Markus Thielen of Matrixport highlights this level as a strategic entry point for investors. A confirmed bounce could propel BTC toward a breakout above $120,000, pushing a bullish momentum. Consequently, traders are advised to watch for strong volume confirmation around $111K, employing staggered entries and tight stop-losses. While dips below $112K may present buying opportunities, a sustained decline would require reassessment of risk. The level’s psychological significance aligns with historical resistance flips that often precede long-term rallies. Altcoin-Focused Funds Suffer as BTC Dominates While Bitcoin thrives, altcoin-heavy liquid crypto funds have seen dramatic losses. Asymmetric Capital’s Liquid Alpha Fund collapsed by 78% despite Bitcoin’s gains, due to overexposure to speculative altcoins and excessive leverage.

The Bitcoin Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) points at thinning liquidity in the sector, potentially explaining the consolidation in the asset’s price. Bitcoin SSR Rose Alongside The Earlier Price Surge As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, the Bitcoin SSR has witnessed an increase recently. The “SSR” here refers to an indicator that measures the ratio between the market cap of Bitcoin and that of the stablecoins. Related Reading: Bitcoin Open Interest Sets New Record As Price Plunges To $115,000 Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that peg themselves to the price of a fiat currency, with USD-based tokens being the most popular. Investors generally use stables when they want to escape the volatility associated with other digital assets like Bitcoin. Many holders who keep their capital stashed away in stablecoins, however, eventually plan to re-invest into volatile coins. As such, some view the supply of these cryptocurrencies as a measure of the ‘dry powder‘ available in the sector for BTC and other assets. Since the SSR compares the market cap of Bitcoin against this dry powder, it tells us about which part of the sector investor capital is dominating right now. When the metric goes up, it means that capital is transferring from stablecoins to BTC or if both are receiving inflows, that the latter is just seeing more of them. In either case, relative dry powder is going down. Similarly, the metric registering a decline implies capital is shifting towards stables. Such a trend can be a sign that investors have more purchasing power relative to BTC’s market cap. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin SSR over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin SSR tracked the earlier BTC price surge almost 1:1, indicating that the increase in the asset’s market cap outpaced any rise in stablecoin liquidity. Since the peak in the cryptocurrency’s price, the indicator has declined a bit, but its value still remains at a significant level of 18.8. This means that the asset’s total value is currently 18.8 times the supply of the stablecoins. “This indicates a temporary saturation in the market unless we see additional stablecoins entering,” notes the quant. The recent high values in the Bitcoin SSR may at least be in part behind the consolidation that the cryptocurrency has been facing. Related Reading: This Bitcoin Metric Often Flags Turning Points—What’s It Saying Now? It now remains to be seen where the metric would go next. A drop in its value would naturally suggest stablecoins are witnessing inflows, which could potentially set up the next leg in the BTC rally. BTC Price Bitcoin briefly declined below $115,000 on Friday, but the coin has since bounced back as its price is now trading around $118,800.

Based on community chatter, August 15, 2025 might bring a crucial turn for Ripple and its XRP Ledger. July’s rally saw XRP jump over 20%, and now investors are bracing for moves tied to a court deadline, a major summit and the rollout of a new stablecoin. All eyes are on mid‑August as the market waits to see if talk turns into action. Related Reading: Memecoins, NFTs Get Called Out By Their Own Architect: ‘Zero Intrinsic Value’ Legal Appeal Deadline According to court filings, Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission must submit a joint status update by August 15 about their appeal of Judge Torres’s 2023 ruling on XRP’s programmatic sales. That decision, which said XRP is not a security in those sales, came after years of back‑and‑forth. The 54th anniversary of the US ending the gold standard also falls on the same date. Some in the XRP community say the timing could speed up a final settlement if both sides choose to drop appeals instead of pushing on. ???? Why August 15, 2025 Could Be a Turning Point for Ripple, XRP, and the Future of Finance From the SEC lawsuit to global monetary resets, too many timelines converge on this one date. Let’s break down what might be coming… and what Ripple could be preparing for ???? pic.twitter.com/Vyhmw1v7c8 — RippleXity (@RippleXity) July 27, 2025 Global Summit Dates Based on reports, the so‑called BRICS Road Rally is set for August 9–15, 2025 in Kazan, Russia. The summit agenda is said to include talks on a shared digital currency and new payment rails. With five major emerging economies pushing hard to reduce their reliance on the dollar, some see a link between those discussions and Ripple’s tech. Ripple already works with central banks on tokenized asset projects, and XRPL could slot into a future BRICS payment system as a bridge currency. Ripple’s own timeline is packed. By mid‑August, the company hopes to secure a national trust charter, giving it the same kind of banking access that big banks enjoy. 2/ ⚖️ The SEC Lawsuit, A Deliberate Delay?

Yesterday, Bitcoin (BTC) once again faced rejection around the $120,000 resistance level after briefly reaching a high of $119,760. At the time of writing, the top cryptocurrency is trading slightly lower at $118,900. However, a sharp increase in whale inflows to Binance threatens to trigger further downside pressure for the digital asset. Binance Whales Ramp Up Bitcoin Deposits According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor BorisVest, Bitcoin whale activity on Binance has increased significantly in recent days. In particular, the Binance Whale Inflow metric recorded a notable spike on July 25, signalling rising institutional participation in exchange deposits. Related Reading: Bitcoin Flow Pulse Breaks From 2017, 2021 Patterns – What It Means For The Rally On that day alone, the 30-day cumulative inflow to Binance surged by $1.2 billion, fuelling short-term selling pressure across the market. Data from CoinGlass shows that between July 24 and July 25, roughly $141 million worth of BTC long positions were liquidated as a result. It’s worth noting that alongside this spike in whale deposits, retail investors have also been moving their holdings to exchanges. However, their participation remains relatively low in comparison, hinting that recent selling pressure is predominantly whale-driven. The following chart illustrates that while retail inflows have been trending upward for weeks, the sudden increase in whale deposits has introduced additional fragility into Bitcoin’s price structure. The surge in Binance whale inflows came just before Bitcoin was rejected at the critical $120,000 level. Following this rejection, BTC retraced to the $115,000–$116,000 range, which is now acting as short-term support. The analyst noted: This area is now acting as a short-term support zone. If it fails to hold, a move toward the $110K level becomes increasingly likely. On the other hand, if Bitcoin can bounce strongly from this region, there is still potential to retest $121K and even attempt a new all-time high. BorisVest concluded that BTC’s near-term price trajectory will be determined by how well the market absorbs whale sell-off. Meanwhile, fellow crypto analyst Titan of Crypto remarked that if BTC decisively breaks through the $119,900 level, then it could eye new all-time highs (ATH). What Else Does Exchange Data Suggest? Whale inflows aren’t the only factor spooking investors. BTC reserves on centralized exchanges also recently reached a one-month high, suggesting that some holders may be anticipating a temporary pullback or consolidation phase before resuming the uptrend.
