Ki Young Ju, founder and CEO of analytics platform CryptoQuant, has shared a tweet from his analytics team showing that, eight hours ago, a massive amount of ETH (395,903 coins) was withdrawn from the largest U.S.-based exchange, Coinbase.

The exchange has recently turned into a publicly-traded company on the Nasdaq.

Are institutions buying $1 billion in Ether?

Ki Young Ju believes that this large movement of ETH is likely to be "institutional OTC deals." The equivalent of 395,903 ETH is a whopping $985,410,485 at the current rate of $2,519 per ETH.

Ju has called this withdrawal a rare bullish signal.

Earlier, U.Today reported that in May and April, institutions withdrew mammoth amounts of Bitcoin from Coinbase to cold storage wallets.

At the moment, Ethereum's market cap totals $292,764,456,172. This is approximately half of Bitcoin's market capitalization value ($633,180,296,398).

Bloomberg's chief commodity expert Mike McGlone believes that, in the future, Ethereum may surpass BTC by this crucial metric as it has a stronger use case and foundation.
