CQ's research team assessed the behavior of Binance net-outflows and reserves of $BTC, $ETH, and Stablecoins in three recent stress-test periods.
- Regulatory FUD after FTX Collapse
- Paxos' announcement
- CFTC lawsuit
In the case of Stablecoins netflows, On-chain data shows netflows of -$871M on Dec 12th, a daily-high outflow of $671M in February (although total netflows during that month were lower than in Dec 2022), and almost -$1B in March since the CFTC lawsuit.
$BTC and $ETH reserves have remained at healthy levels even after these periods of high net outflows.
- BTC reserves have grown from 509k in Dec 2022 to 581k currently.
- ETH reserves stand at 4.48M, compared to a low of 4.42M back in Dec 2022.
In the case of stablecoins, reserves at Binance have been decreasing significantly, from $24.5 billion in December to $10.7 billion today. This has been mostly the result of a decrease in $BUSD reserves, which accelerated after Paxos' announcement.

#Bitcoin Institutional Fund Accumulation Trends
by @OnchainTarek
Thread🧵
1/ "Fund holdings" refer to the cryptocurrency holdings of institutional investors, including hedge funds, investment firms, and cryptocurrency private funds. Analyzing the holdings of these funds provides valuable insights into the market dynamics and investor sentiment.
2/ By closely observing fund holdings, we can identify a significant upward trend in the accumulation of bitcoins by these institutional entities. This exponential increase in holdings indicates a strong interest to acquire #Bitcoin, even at its current price level.
