Since 2025, the reserve amount of Bitcoin on exchanges has been continuously decreasing. From a peak of nearly 2.98 million coins in April to around 2.54 million in mid-November, a decline of 15%. This means that in just a few months, over 430,000 BTC have been withdrawn by investors. Behind this large-scale withdrawal, there is a subtle shift in market participants' views on the security of holding coins and their long-term value. The downward trend in exchange BTC balances often indicates a change in market sentiment.

From the data performance, the withdrawal scale of 430,000 BTC is indeed noteworthy—what is the underlying token economic logic behind this? Is it due to increased self-custody willingness or panic selling?
According to on-chain behavior analysis, a decline in exchange reserves usually indicates market sentiment divergence, but the premise for this assumption is whether participants' incentive mechanisms are truly aligned... I think we overlooked a problem.
Oh my God, it's the same pattern again, just like the token withdrawal wave in November 2021. And the result? A direct halving after three months.
430,000 BTC. Quoting Vitalik's perspective, the self-custody revolution sounds wonderful, but there are many loopholes in execution—are large holders moving to cold wallets or cutting losses to hedge risks?
From a governance perspective, exchange balances essentially reflect the market’s consensus adjustment on centralized risk—that's the key.
