The late-November slump triggered heavy liquidations across Asia-based traders, shrinking margin deposits and reducing the BTC held on Binance.<\/p>\n<p>A recent change of fortune in the asset\u2019s valuation also had a similar effect, when more than $300 million in Bitcoin shorts were <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/over-300m-in-shorts-liquidated-as-bitcoin-surges-past-91k\/\">wiped<\/a> out on December 2 as the premier cryptocurrency bounced back above $91,000.\u00a0That spike in liquidations came just a day after the asset <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/strategy-boosts-its-bitcoin-stack-to-650000-btc-as-price-falls-below-85k\/\">plunged<\/a> below $85,000, exaggerating flows in and out of exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, some users are also redistributing funds as Binance rolls out new compliance measures around the world, with XWIN claiming that while this shift has contributed to lower reserves, it merely reflects structural adjustments rather than an exodus prompted by fear.<\/p>\n<h2>Market Structure Improving as Institutional Signals Strengthen<\/h2>\n<p>XWIN is not alone in its upbeat outlook. Another market analytics outfit, Arab Chain, has <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/insights\/quicktake\/692fa540160b570d64bc307d-Rising-Coinbase-Premium-and-Strengthening-Binance-Liquidity-Signal-a-Potential-M\">pointed<\/a> to additional signs from U.S. markets, which it says suggest the setup may be healthier than the recent volatility implies.\u00a0The firm highlighted a positive reading on the Coinbase Premium Index, which is now at +0.03, after a month of persistent selling by U.S. investors.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, a higher premium often means there\u2019s renewed interest from institutions, given that Coinbase acts as a primary channel for American funds.\u00a0Liquidity measures on Binance have also begun to improve, and the price gap between Binance and Coinbase has narrowed, pointing to more balanced capital flows.<\/p>\n<p>According to Arab Chain, when both indicators move in the same direction, the market often enters a stabilization phase before pushing higher.\u00a0Bitcoin\u2019s latest price action supports that view. Over the past 24 hours, it has climbed about 7% and is now trading near $93,000 per CoinGecko data.<\/p>\n<p>Performance over the past week is also green, with BTC gaining 6% in that period, although it remains down by about 13% on the month after the sharp November decline.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/binance-btc-reserves-drop-signaling-bullish-market-setup\/\">Binance BTC Reserves Drop, Signaling Bullish Market Setup<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The amount of Bitcoin (BTC) held on Binance, the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has fallen to its lowest point in years.
