Bitcoin (BTC) inflows to the Binance exchange have fallen to 3,998 BTC, according to the moving average of the last 30 days. This figure represents a historical minimum that has not been recorded since 2020.
The current volume of deposits It is equivalent to almost a third of the usual historical average, which stands at 11,000 BTC per day. The decline reflects a change in user behavior within the largest exchange on the market.
Historically, high peaks, as seen in the graph, usually coincide with periods of high volatility. In 2021, for example, massive spikes in deposits were seen (yellow line) which suggested a clear intention of investors to take profits.
On the contrary, the situation in this year 2026 shows a significant drop in inflows. This data would reveal that market participants prefer to custody their assets externally rather than have them ready for liquidation.
The main cause of this phenomenon lies in the uncertainty of the global economic context. According to explains the analyst which is identified as “Darkfost”, the lack of visibility in international markets prevents investors from making decisions with conviction in the short term.
This scenario has generated an environment that is difficult to interpret for assets considered “risky” such as bitcoin. However, despite the doubts, The analyst highlights that “it does not seem that panic is taking over bitcoin investors”.
The bitcoin market seems to be in a phase of passivity and observation, but not capitulation, while its price continues to rise, as reported by CriptoNoticias.
For Darkfost, currency holders remain calm while waiting for clear signals from the macroeconomic and geopolitical context (conflict in the Middle East). Instead of reacting with fear, users keep their assets out of exchanges, reinforcing the thesis of a market in waiting.
