Binance Reserves Fall to $102B, Lowest Since April 2025

Recent on-chain data shows a sharp contraction in Binance’s total portfolio value, which includes BTC, ETC, XRP, and major stablecoins across ERC20 and TRC20 networks.

According to the chart, Binance’s reserves have declined to approximately $102 billion, marking the lowest level since April 2025. Just a few months earlier, in August 2025, total reserves peaked near $140 billion, highlighting the scale of the recent drawdown.

A $38 Billion Contraction

The drop from $140 billion to $102 billion represents a decline of roughly $38 billion, or about 27%.

Two primary factors appear to be driving this contraction:

1. Market Depreciation

The broader crypto market downturn and ongoing capitulation phase have significantly reduced the USD valuation of assets held in Binance’s wallets. As Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other large-cap assets declined, the exchange’s total reserve value naturally compressed.

2. Capital Moving to Self-Custody

Periods of elevated volatility and fear often trigger withdrawals from centralized exchanges. Investors may shift assets to cold storage or self-custodial wallets to reduce counterparty risk. This behavior directly reduces the visible reserve balances on exchanges.

What It Signals

A sustained decline in exchange reserves can carry mixed interpretations.

On one hand, reduced reserves may signal capital exiting the exchange ecosystem, reflecting caution and declining liquidity. On the other hand, large withdrawals can also indicate long-term holding behavior if users are moving assets off exchanges rather than preparing to sell.

For now, the downward trajectory suggests a cautious environment following the recent sell-off. A structural reversal would likely require consistent net inflows back to Binance, signaling renewed trading activity and improving confidence.

Until that shift materializes, reserve trends point to a market still navigating post-correction fragility.
