In August, the BTC holdings on centralized exchanges dropped to their lowest levels since January 20

Data shows that as of the end of August, centralized exchanges held 2,010,346 Bitcoins, a decrease of 86,305 coins (a 4.1% drop) compared to the beginning of the month, marking the lowest level since January 2018. The reduction in the number of Bitcoins held by exchanges indicates investors' confidence in the long-term prospects of Bitcoin and can also be interpreted as traders selling off while waiting for more favorable market conditions.

Adam Mourad, data analyst at CryptoQuant, said, “The large number of bitcoins moving from trading platforms to secure cold wallets underscores the confidence of long-term investors.”
