Notably, Binance, a major player in the crypto exchange market, received 12,896 BTC ($558M) out of the total 21,436 BTC transferred to various exchanges. Since December 3, 2023, Bitfinex has experienced an addition of roughly 7,224 BTC, amounting to a value of $313 million. This influx signifies that out of the total, 20,120 BTC, valued at $871 million, a substantial 93.86% was directed towards these two exchanges.
The situation with ether deposits paints a contrasting picture, with centralized cryptocurrency exchanges witnessing a relatively modest rise of about 7,092 ether, valued at $16.42 million based on the current ETH exchange rates. Meanwhile, the quantity of ERC20-based stablecoins has experienced a decrease since December 4, 2023, dipping from 17.79 billion to a present figure of 17.60 billion.
