Cryptocurrency analytics company CryptoQuant has identified a significant contraction in Ethereum’s liquid supply, which has fallen to its lowest level since 2024, according to the company’s latest market assessment. The analysis, based on Binance data, indicates a substantial decrease in the amount of ETH immediately available for trading. CryptoQuant suggests this supply reduction could ease selling pressure in the near term and provide price support.
Binance ETH Supply Breakdown
According to CryptoQuant’s data, Binance’s total Ethereum reserves remain relatively balanced at approximately 3.44 million ETH. Within this total, the liquid supply—assets immediately available for trading—has dropped to around 534,000 ETH. The illiquid supply, comprising assets held for longer-term purposes, stands at approximately 2.91 million ETH. This distribution indicates that a significant portion of Ethereum in circulation is being held for the long term rather than active trading.
Liquidity Dryup Explained
CryptoQuant highlighted a process known as “liquidity dryup,” in which investors withdraw their assets from exchanges and store them in cold wallets or reserve them for long-term investments. This activity reduces the active supply available in the market. Historically, such periods have been noted as precursors to strong price movements driven by increased demand, according to the company’s analysis.
Market Interpretation
CryptoQuant interpreted Ethereum’s liquid supply reaching its lowest 2024 level as a sign of increased investor confidence and a strengthening shift toward accumulation rather than selling. The company stated that if this trend continues and market demand improves, a more supportive market structure for Ethereum’s price could develop in the short term.
