- Coinbase BTC Reserves have declined since February
- BTC’s price troubles over the past week have resulted in more outflows from its spot ETF market
Coinbase Bitcoin [BTC] Reserves have fallen by 15% since February, pseudonymous CryptoQuant analyst Burakkesmeci found in a new report.
Coinbase BTC Reserve tracks the amount of Bitcoins its users hold on the cryptocurrency exchange. It measures everything from the coins that users have in their Coinbase wallets, as well as the coins that they deposit on the exchange for trading purposes.
When it falls, coin holders are either selling their assets or moving their BTCs to personal wallets for long-term storage.
According to Burakkesmeci, the four-month decline in Coinbase BTC Reserves is a result of the “increased demand due to Spot ETFs.”
