Here's something worth noting: ETFs combined with publicly traded companies now hold a larger stash of $BTC than all the centralized exchanges combined.
This shift in holdings tells us something about where institutional money is flowing. Traditional finance vehicles and corporate balance sheets are accumulating coins at a pace that's outstripping exchange reserves. The supply dynamics are quietly transforming as Bitcoin moves from trading venues into longer-term institutional custody.
What does this mean? Exchanges used to be the dominant holders. Not anymore. The asset is maturing, and the holder profile is evolving with it.

Wait... have the exchanges' Bitcoin reserves really been surpassed? This means institutions are indeed quietly accumulating coins. No wonder withdrawals from exchanges have been so frequent lately.

Damn, this is the real logic behind holding coins. Institutions are way more aggressive than retail investors when bottom fishing; they’re directly draining coins from the exchanges.

The era of serious institutional crypto accumulation has arrived, and exchanges are about to become obsolete.

ngl this is exactly the rhythm of big institutions quietly accumulating tokens; the coins on exchanges are nothing in comparison

Wait, are institutions really hoarding Bitcoin? Then where are the coins from the exchanges? This logic feels a bit strange...
