- More than 1,365 BTCs were removed from cryptocurrency exchanges during the 24 hours through 12:00 UTC Thursday, the highest for a 24-hour period so far this year, according to the blockchain data firm Glassnode.
- The spike in withdrawals from exchange addresses came as the No. 1 cryptocurrency by market capitalization slumped on Thursday to near $50,000, from a high at $56,783.86 in the past 24 hours.
- "Today we have a new all-time high in BTC leaving the exchanges for 2021 and a new dip-buying prize to award," bitcoin analyst Willy Woo tweeted Thursday.
- At the same time, more coins are being withdrawn to an illiquid status, separate blockchain data show.
- The monthly net change of supply held by liquid and highly liquid entities have pushed into deeply negative levels, to a degree not seen in three years, according to Glassnode. (See chart above.)
- That might be related to many investors' growing use of bitcoin as a hedge against inflation in the face of trillions of dollars of monetary stimulus pumped into global financial markets over the past year by central banks around the world.
- "The trend of coins withdrawn and locked away into long-term holding patterns is a direct response to the world's central bank response to 2020," Glassnode wrote in its newsletter earlier this month. "There still appears to be significant demand from long-term investors."
- At press time, bitcoin is changing hands at $51,278.06, down 9.49% in the past 24 hours.

Crypto Markets Today: Fed Rate-Cut Hopes Lift BTC, ETH as Traders Brace for Volatility
Crypto markets are firm ahead of Wednesday’s Federal Reserve decision, with a 25 basis-point interest-rate cut already priced in.
Что нужно знать:
- Risk assets are buoyant ahead of the Fed, but rate decisions often trigger sharp intraday swings and a “sell-the-news” dip remains possible.
- Bitcoin sits at $92,300 and has spent the past week between $88,000 and $94,500; a break of either bound may set up the next move.
- Ether is outperforming post-Fusaka upgrade, but broader altcoin sentiment is weak with CoinMarketCap's altcoin season index at 16/100. HYPE, STRK, KAS and APT lead declines while AI token FET rebounds.
