On-chain data revealed approximately 845,000 ETH left exchanges last week. The withdrawals are the highest weekly amount since December 2022. The outflows coincide with increased selling pressure as the crypto markets experience a downward trend.
Data indicates over $1 billion worth of ETH exited exchanges last week
Coinmarketcap data revealed Ethereum experienced increased volatility in the past month. The asset has lost over 50% of its value since December 2024. The coin is currently trading at $2,073, a 4% decline in the past 24 hours. The volatility comes after President Trump announced he would create a U.S. crypto reserve and include Ethereum in it.

Investors claimed that Trump’s announcement left more uncertainity in the market. They remained cautious as Ethereum tried to reclaim ground.
On-chain data indicate that investors withdrew over 330,000 from exchanges after the president’s announcement on Thursday. The outflows suggested investors were moving Ethereum into private wallets. The withdrawals signal reduce selling pressure and possible long term accumulation.
The analytic platform Tradingviewsuggested that for an ETH recovery rally to occur, bulls must defend the $2,100 level. It added that ETH could see a strong recovery if market sentiment improved and exchange outflows persisted. The platform suggested that a break past the resistance level would signal a renewed buying momentum. It added that an increase in ETH’s price would trigger a push towards higher prices.
Nansen crypto intelligence platform research analyst said that Ether supply moving off exchanges was a general bullish signal. The analyst commented that similar trends were observed with Bitcoin. He added that the outflows suggest a natural shift toward self-custody and cold storage.
Vugar Usi Zade, Chief operating officer at Bitget, commented that decreasing Ether supply in exchanges indicated that investors were shifting assets to cold storage rather than positioning for short-term sales. He added that such shifts have historically co-related with reduced sell-side pressure and stabilization.
Analysts expect Ethereum staking ETFs to be the next ETH price catalyst
Marcin Kazmierczak, CEO at Redstone, said that the potential introduction of staking Exchange-traded Funds (ETFs) could be Ether’s next price catalyst. He added that it could further tighten Ethereum’s liquid supply. The CEO suggested that reduced supply could reinforce the asset’s proposition as an investment asset.
According to Consensys founder Joe Lubin, Ether ETF issuers are expecting regulatory approval for staking in 2025. He added that fund issuers were working hard to create the best solutions for customers to deal with any complexities around staking and slashing.
The founder suggested that ETF staking would be great for the ecosystem. He added that it would enable the crypto ecosystem to do a more diversified job. Lubin hinted the technology would also lead to greater client diversity.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced in January the establishment of a crypto task force. The regulator added that the task force would help develop a framework for digital assets to provide more clarity to customers. The regulator added that crypto-friendly Hester Pierce would lead the task force. Pierce commented that approval of staked Ether ETFs was more likely to be achieved with more pro-crypto commissioners within the SEC.
Former Polygon financial chief Young Ko said that a Pierce-led task force was great for the industry. The former chief added that Pierce understood the technology and championed the builders. He commented that ETH staking ETF approval would be good for Ethereum and the greater ecosystem.
Kean Gibert, an institutional relations contributor to Lido DAO, revealed that Ethereum stalking-enabled ETFs could become a reality under the new U.S. administration. He added that the current inability to stake ETF-held Ethereum represented a significant opportunity cost for institutional investors.
