Some of that shift comes from holders moving funds into private cold wallets for safekeeping.<\/p>\n<p>Reports show that large buyers in the US \u2014 including spot ETF managers \u2014 are also taking coins off the market and placing them with custodians.<\/p>\n<p>Those moves reduce the float available to traders and can add upward pressure on prices when demand rises.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Why Binance\u2019s Bitcoin Reserves Are Declining<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHistorically, such conditions have supported medium- to long-term price appreciation.
