The global backdrop remains uncertain for markets, making the current environment particularly difficult to interpret.

This lack of visibility prevents investors from positioning with conviction, especially in risk assets such as Bitcoin.

Despite these unfavorable conditions, panic does not appear to be setting in among Bitcoin investors.

Indeed, when looking at BTC inflows on Binance, the leading platform in terms of liquidity and reserves, they have recently dropped to historically low levels.

The 30-day moving average now stands around 3,998 BTC, marking a more than 6-year low, comparable to levels seen in 2020.

This is far from previous periods of stress or euphoria :

▸ over 19,000 BTC/day on average in July 2023

▸ over 25,000 BTC/day on average in May 2021

For reference, the historical average is մոտ 11,000 BTC, meaning current levels are roughly three times lower than normal.

This sharp contraction in inflows reflects a clear dynamic.

Investors are not looking to move their BTC onto exchanges to sell. On the contrary, they appear to favor a holding strategy, which mechanically reduces short-term selling pressure.

A structural shift may also be at play, with some flows now moving through alternative vehicles such as ETFs, reducing visible BTC movements toward exchanges.

Ultimately, even in an uncertain environment, this type of signal suggests a market that is more in a waiting phase than in capitulation, with holders remaining relatively passive rather than panicked.
