Over 180,000 Ethereum (ETH) tokens have been pulled out\u00a0from centralized exchanges in the last 24 hours, as traders seek to preserve their cryptocurrency in expectation of bullish price action.<\/p>\n
According to a March 18 tweet from crypto market analysis site IntoTheBlock, more than\u00a0$500 million worth of Ethereum was withdrawn on March 16 across a number of different CEXs (including Binance, Kraken, and Crypto.com).<\/p>\n
Given that the price of one ETH was $2,590.40 on the date of the analysis, the value of the tokens withdrawn was more than half a billion dollars, the highest withdrawal of the year.<\/p>\n
According to the company, this figure reflects the greatest aggregated exchange withdrawal of ETH since October of this year. At the time, total ETH withdrawals coincided with a 16% increase in the cryptocurrency’s price during a ten-day period.<\/p>\n
Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization, behind\u00a0Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
