Ether on exchanges hits lowest level recorded

Ethereum supply on exchanges now accounts for 8.04% of the asset’s total supply according to Santiment data. This is the lowest level recorded since Genesis. The altcoin’s supply on exchanges typically influences the asset’s price. A reduction in supply is considered bullish as it supports the thesis of declining selling pressure on ETH.

There is an increase in active addresses on Ether, as noted by Santiment’s active addresses metric, in the chart below. This supports a thesis for ETH price recovery.
