[Crypto](https://btcpeers.com/what-is-the-best-cryptocurrency-to-invest-in/) analytics company Glassnode has shared some data suggesting that Bitcoin’s illiquid has hit a new all-time high as investors continue to move their BTC holdings into cold storage.

A prominent Bitcoin-related Twitter account (@BTC\_Archive) shared a chart published by Glassnode, revealing that the illiquid Bitcoin supply, which has been rising at an alarming rate, has hit an all-time high. On the flip side, the lack of a liquid BTC supply is getting tighter with each passing day.

The chart displayed the Exchange Net Position Change index, which has been extremely negative of late.

According to a renowned crypto tracker, Whale Alert, a whooping 15,000 BTC (equal to $949,670,920) changed hands between anonymous wallets during the transactions, as BTC whales move their crypto holdings into cold storage.
