Binance Sees Heavy Bitcoin and Ethereum Outflows During Market Crash

The past week of sharp market declines has been accompanied by an unusual on-chain pattern. While Bitcoin fell from around $85,000 to $68,000 and Ethereum slid from the $3,000 area toward $2,000, assets were not moving onto exchanges at the pace typically associated with panic selling.

Instead, the chart shows large amounts of BTC and ETH leaving Binance during the sell-off.

What the Netflow Data Shows

The 7-day asset netflow data highlights significant withdrawals across major assets:

  • Bitcoin (BTC): roughly $9 billion in net outflows
  • Ethereum (ETH): more than $2.7 billion in net outflows

In total, over $11.7 billion worth of BTC and ETH exited Binance over the period shown on the chart.

Why This Stands Out

During sharp corrections, exchanges usually see strong inflows as market participants move assets on-platform to sell. The opposite behavior here suggests that, despite falling prices, a large share of supply was being withdrawn rather than prepared for immediate liquidation.

This pattern points to buyers absorbing available liquidity and transferring assets off-exchange, reducing near-term sell-side availability.

Bitcoin Inflows to Binance Rise as Selling Pressure and Panic Build

Structural Takeaway

Based on the chart alone, the sell-off coincided with net accumulation behavior on Binance, not broad capitulation. Large exchange outflows during a price decline reduce immediate selling pressure and often reflect a shift toward longer-term holding.

While price volatility remains elevated, the scale of these withdrawals indicates that the recent drop was met with significant demand beneath the surface, reshaping short-term supply dynamics on the exchange.
