Bitcoin's illiquid supply climbs to a new peak as traders withdraw BTC from exchanges

Crypto 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.

The Twitter user also posted another Glassnode chart showing that users have been withdrawing BTC from multiple crypto exchanges.

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