2025/12/07 18:51
What to Know:
  • ETH held on exchanges reaches lowest level since Ethereum’s launch.
  • Potential supply squeeze could affect market dynamics.
  • Significant implications for staking and DeFi protocols.

Ether balances on centralized exchanges have reached an unprecedented low of approximately 8.7-8.8% of total supply, according to Glassnode’s on-chain data, signaling potential market shifts.

This reduction in exchange-held Ether suggests a shift towards longer-term holdings and staking, potentially leading to tighter market liquidity and influencing price dynamics.

ETH supply on centralized exchanges has reached a record low, constituting only about 8.7-8.8% of the total circulating supply according to Glassnode.

This decline in ETH on exchanges raises expectations for a supply squeeze, potentially influencing future market behavior.

ETH Exchange Holdings Dip to Historic Low of 8.7%

The reduction in ETH supply on exchanges marks a historical low since Ethereum’s inception in 2015. On-chain analytics by Glassnode detail a drop to approximately 8.7–8.8% of total Ether supply, signaling potential market implications. Prominent entities like Milk Road describe the environment as the tightest supply situation for ETH observed, saying,

Centralized exchanges worldwide credit this on-chain data reduction, acknowledging major shifts in Ether’s distribution landscape.

Supply Squeeze Anticipated with Low Exchange Reserves

This record low in exchange-held ETH could trigger a supply squeeze, as commented by platforms such as Bitget and Phemex. The potential for a price surge is highlighted, tied to the reduction in available float.

The financial landscape is seeing shifts, with staking, collateral loops, and DeFi developments absorbing ETH. Despite low sentiment and ETF outflows, on-chain supply dynamics remain pressing for ETH’s market outlook.

New Low in ETH Supply Reflects Post-Merge Dynamics

Previous decreases in ETH on exchanges, notably post-Merge and post-Shapella, set precedence. However, current analytics and Glassnode data mark a qualitatively new low, shaped by mature staking and Layer-2 adoption.

Potential outcomes include market boosts if demand rises amid reduced supply. Historical supply constraints have often led to price increases, casting this event as crucial for understanding future ETH and DeFi market directions.
