Analytics chart provided by Santiment data aggregator shows that Bitcoin supplies on crypto exchanges continue to melt, dropping to the 18-month long that was last seen on January 2 this year.
The Santiment team of experts believes that the 18-month low reached by the Bitcoin supply on exchanges reduces chances of any big sell-off in the future and improves the odds of the eventual Bitcoin recovery in the future.
