The post Bitcoin and ether exchange supplies hit historic lows but a rally isn’t guaranteed ( appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “The under-covered angle is that this metric is documenting the end of the exchange-custody era,” Ben Nadareski, CEO of Solstice, said. The bigger story may not be lower exchange balances themselves, but where those assets are moving to. “Assets are leaving trading venues for two destinations: regulated custody on one side, productive onchain positions on the other,” he said.

Bitcoin price declined by around 2% over the last 24 hours and was mostly stuck in the low $62,000 territory. However, it recovered from dropping below $58,000, a new 21-month low. Ethereum has been trading below $1,750, which is almost 4% lower than the previous day and about 30% below its value one year ago. All other altcoins followed suit.
