Data provided by Glassnode indicates that Bitcoin has been outflowing exchanges at the quickest pace since November.

Another chart from the same data provider shows that Bitcoin exchange inflow volumes have shrunk to hit a major low.

Investors withdrawing BTC from exchanges fast

According to a chart from Glassnode analytics agency, the index of Bitcoin net transfer volume to/from exchanges has dropped to the lowest mark since November of last year.

This indicates that investors have been moving their stashes of digital gold from trading venues to put them in cold storage vaults.

Investors are likely to expect the flagship crypto to surge to new highs. Thus, they are sitting on their BTC stashes with no intention of selling them.
