Buyers on Binance shifted decisively in recent weeks. The exchange\u2019s seven-day net taker volume<\/a> swung from roughly -$1 billion in late March \u2014 a period dominated by sellers \u2014 to around $2.6 billion by early May, signaling that demand had returned with some force.<\/p>\n

Reserves Hit Levels Not Seen Since Late 2023<\/h2>\n

That shift in buyer behavior is playing out against a backdrop of shrinking Bitcoin<\/a> supply on major exchanges. Combined outflows from Binance, OKX, and Gemini have reached nearly 100,000 BTC since February \u2014 worth over $8 billion at current prices \u2014 pushing reserves to their lowest point in roughly two and a half years.<\/p>\n

Binance recorded the steepest drop. Its holdings fell from about 670,000 BTC in late February to nearly 620,000 BTC by May 7, dipping below levels last seen in December 2023.<\/p>\n

OKX shed close to 30,000 BTC over a similar stretch, sliding from 132,000 BTC in early March to around 102,000 BTC. Gemini followed a similar path, declining from 114,800 BTC in early February to 95,000 BTC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to a crypto analyst, a broad drawdown<\/a> across multiple platforms carries more significance than outflows from a single exchange. When Bitcoin leaves several major venues at once, it points to a wider shift in how holders are managing their coins \u2014 not just routine transfers between wallets on the same platform.<\/p>\n

OTC Supply Tightens Alongside Exchange Withdrawals<\/h2>\n

The supply crunch isn\u2019t limited to exchange order books. Over-the-counter desk balances \u2014 used by large buyers and institutions to move Bitcoin privately, outside of public markets \u2014 have also tightened.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 30-day OTC balance change turned negative, posting a net decline of roughly 24,940 BTC. That\u2019s a sharp contrast to early February, when the same measure stood at nearly +25,300 BTC following a dip in Bitcoin\u2019s price toward $60,000.<\/p>\n

The reversal<\/a> indicates that fresh Bitcoin supply flowing into OTC channels has slowed considerably since that earlier sell-off.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAccumulation Picks Up Among Long-Term Holders<\/p>\n

Long-term holders stepped up their buying during Bitcoin\u2019s recovery<\/a> toward $82,800. Data from CryptoQuant shows demand from accumulator addresses climbed to 264,000 BTC on May 6, up 60% from 164,440 BTC just two weeks earlier on April 23. The metric had bottomed near 100,000 BTC in mid-March before rebounding.<\/p>\n

Accumulator addresses typically represent buyers who add to their holdings consistently and rarely sell \u2014 a cohort watched closely as a gauge of conviction among experienced market participants.<\/p>\n
