Weekly CEX fund flow changes: Large net outflow of BTC, ETH flows in the opposite direction

2026-01-05 07:40:10

【Blockchain Rhythm】According to the latest data, the fund flows of centralized exchanges have shown a clear divergence over the past week.

For BTC, the total net outflow from exchanges exceeded 10,000 coins. Among them, Kraken’s outflow was the most prominent, reaching 6,704 coins; a leading exchange followed closely, with an outflow of 4,802 coins; Gate saw an outflow of 641 coins. This significant wave of outflows may reflect market participants reducing their holdings on exchanges at high prices, shifting towards self-custody or long-term holding strategies.

The situation for ETH is the opposite — during the same period, the total net inflow to exchanges reached 135,500 coins. A leading exchange absorbed 115,900 coins, accounting for an absolute dominance; another exchange saw an inflow of 18,600 coins; and other exchanges received inflows of 6,311 coins. This reverse flow suggests that market demand for Ethereum remains relatively stable, with institutions or large holders possibly accumulating on dips.

The scenario of large BTC outflows coupled with continuous ETH inflows highlights the market’s differing expectations for the two major cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin has run away, while Ethereum is instead bleeding; this rhythm is quite interesting.

This move is interesting. BTC is withdrawing outward, ETH is pouring in. What's the thinking... Are you still buying the dip on ETH or do you think BTC has topped out? Feels like the big players' thoughts are all written on the chain. Over ten thousand BTC has been moved out. Is this really a sign of pessimism or just relocating? The over 130,000 ETH coming in is quite aggressive. What are the institutions doing? Switching from self-custody to... sounds professional, but it's actually just being timid haha
