Quick Take
- Over a 14 DMA, Bitcoin deposits head lower as 2023 progresses, in line with the 2019 bear market.
- However, since the FTX collapse, Bitcoin withdrawals have been greater than deposits for the first time in Bitcoin history.
- This trend has continued into 2023, but the gap is getting closer between deposits and withdrawals.
- The transaction count is up considerably, mainly due to the traction of Ordinals.
