first_img The Bitcoin supply on the exchange has dropped to 2.67 million coins, and a CryptoQuant researcher claims it may drive up prices

On-chain data company CryptoQuant researcher Rei Researcher pointed out in a report released on Monday that as the Bitcoin supply on exchanges continues to shrink, the price of Bitcoin may see an upward trend. The report shows that the Bitcoin held by exchanges has decreased from 2.8 million in February to 2.67 million. The recent price of Bitcoin is around $83,485, remaining stable over the past 24 hours but rising 8% over the past 30 days, following the best-performing quarter in years.The report states, "If buying demand continues to improve while exchange supply remains low, Bitcoin could benefit from a supply-demand imbalance, creating favorable conditions for a longer-term upward trend." The report adds, "More importantly, Bitcoin has rebounded from its lows in recent weeks, while exchange reserves continue to decline. This is a notable development, indicating that even as the market recovers, the supply available for trading is still decreasing." The report also notes that investors may be transferring Bitcoin out of exchanges and into cold wallets.In the first half of 2026, Bitcoin traded below $65,000 for most of the time. After reaching an all-time high of $126,080 in October 2025, the cryptocurrency has been in a bear market for most of this year. However, the situation changed in August when the U.S. Treasury doubled the scale of liquidity support repurchase operations, weakening the dollar while boosting non-yielding assets like Bitcoin. Analysts say that the so-called "devaluation trade" has heated up again, benefiting Bitcoin as it did in 2024 and 2025. Currently, the price of Bitcoin is still over 30% lower than its historical record.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, Lorenzo Valente, the Director of Digital Asset Research at Ark Invest, stated in a video interview with Bitcoin Magazine that despite Bitcoin's lackluster performance and even decline this year, Ark Invest has not changed its long-term view, still considering Bitcoin over a five-year cycle and believing its development is still in the early stages. He also introduced Ark's Big Ideas report and discussed Bitcoin's role as digital gold and a permissionless currency.Valente pointed out that the rise of stablecoins has changed Ark's judgment on the emerging market Bitcoin narrative. He also talked about the rise of tokenized stocks and real-world assets, as well as the functionalities that tokenized stocks can achieve that traditional brokerage accounts cannot.Additionally, he mentioned the impact of rising interest rates, inflation, and AI on Bitcoin's macro outlook, and explored which tokenized business models will ultimately prevail, as well as the possibility of tokenizing U.S. assets for offshore markets.Regarding the market outlook, Valente provided Ark's perspective on Bitcoin's future over the next 12 to 18 months and discussed the four-year cycle and key points to watch moving forward. Ark's Big Ideas report set a Bitcoin price target for 2030, and the reasons why institutional funds are still on the sidelines were also among the topics he discussed.

Zhao Changpeng released a guide on cryptocurrency asset custody, recommending that the custody method be chosen based on asset scale and technical capability

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng released a simplified guide for cryptocurrency asset custody, suggesting that users match security measures according to their holding scale and technical capabilities, while focusing on three major issues: preventing asset theft, avoiding accidental loss, and planning for asset inheritance in advance.Regarding self-custody, Zhao Changpeng advised users to take measures such as storing private keys on offline devices, using reliable hardware wallets, verifying transaction addresses, and setting up multiple off-site backups. He also reminded users to avoid saving keys through photos or screenshots to prevent them from syncing to the cloud and causing leaks. In terms of asset inheritance, users should develop a secure recovery plan in advance, avoiding direct sharing of keys or storing recovery information in an unencrypted form. For centralized trading platforms, Zhao Changpeng suggested that users assess the platform's reputation, security capabilities, and business model, and strengthen account protection through measures such as independent email, strong passwords, two-factor authentication, hardware security keys, and withdrawal address whitelists, while also being vigilant against phishing attacks and API credential leaks.Zhao Changpeng further suggested that users should reasonably allocate assets between centralized trading platforms and personal wallets based on their technical capabilities, security management levels, and funding needs. Self-custody means that users need to independently bear the responsibility for private key protection and asset recovery, while custody by trading platforms involves platform credit and counterparty risk. Additionally, maintaining an independent wallet helps to ensure access to assets during maintenance or service interruptions on trading platforms.
