Glassnode
Bitcoin whales’ exchange flows have stayed negative since a deposit streak ended in late August. The summer run lasted more than three months, twice as long as any other since 2023.
Why it matters
The reversal marks a change in whale exchange-flow behavior. Negative flows indicate that, on net, whale transfers to exchanges have not exceeded transfers away from them.
Market impact
Exchange outflows can be consistent with accumulation or reduced intent to sell on exchanges, but the flow data alone does not establish why whales moved their BTC. Whether negative flows persist is the key signal to watch.
