Wealth is flowing, and those standing at the forefront have already risen.
As an observer who has been involved in the crypto space for many years, I see some unusual signals emerging. On-chain data is in front of us: ETH reserves on exchanges have fallen to a historic low, accounting for only 8.7% of the circulating supply.
Looking at this number from a different perspective—out of 100 ETH, fewer than 9 are still held in exchange accounts waiting for buyers. What about the rest? They have long been withdrawn by large holders and institutions, deeply locked in cold wallets.
At the same time, a new door has opened. A major US financial institution announced that starting January 2026, wealth advisors will be able to recommend crypto asset allocations to clients, with a range set between 1% and 4%. This may not seem like much, but it is highly significant for the entire market.
**Exchanges are being drained**
The numbers are straightforward: currently, only 10.5 million ETH remain on exchanges, while the total circulating supply of Ethereum has reached 120.7 million. Since July 2025, this process has accelerated noticeably—exchange ETH balances have decreased by nearly 20% in just a few months.
More dramatically, the ETH reserves of a major exchange have been halved since August 2025, now only 3.76 million ETH are on the books.
What is behind this? Institutions are taking action. Well-known organizations like Bitmine have spent $435 million to buy Ethereum, now holding 3.2% of the ETH supply. Even whales have been actively making moves recently.
The tighter the supply, the more the price influence shifts into the hands of those who hold the chips. This is the rule of the game.
Those without cold wallets in hand really need to wake up.
If you don't get on this wave, you'll be completely left behind.
It was obvious that institutions were quietly making huge profits, while we retail investors are still trying to bottom fish...
1%-4% may seem insignificant, but once this thing gets unleashed, the market will explode.
Institutions' moves are brilliant, draining chips from the market forcefully.
Major holders have all gone to cold wallets to sleep, who is selling the remaining assets on the exchange...
Does this game ever have a chance for retail investors to win? Haha.
$435 million poured in, they are just playing a big game of chess.
Why do I feel like I’ve been cut again?
When supply tightens, prices skyrocket—this rule is written so clearly.
We are probably the last retail investors on the platform, haha
Institutions' moves this time are really ruthless
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been watching the K-line every day
By the way, 1%-4% isn't much, but it's definitely a signal
Cold wallets are getting fuller, and the market is getting smaller
The rules of this game are written clearly
Been cut again for a year
