March 4 News: Ethereum (ETH) has recently been trading sideways around $2,000, with investors choosing to withdraw assets from exchanges. According to on-chain data and analysis reports, over the past month, total ETH withdrawals have reached approximately 31.6 million, the highest since November last year. Among them, the largest single platform withdrawal was about 14.45 million, with other major platforms recording outflows of approximately 3.83 million and 1.04 million. gammafund.eth made a single withdrawal of 9,000 ETH, and BitMine increased its holdings by 50,992.8 ETH, accounting for about 3.71% of the total ETH supply.
Data shows that exchange ETH reserves have decreased from 16.8 million at the beginning of the year to 15.9 million, reaching a recent low on March 2. Analyst Arab Chain stated that this reflects some investors moving assets to private wallets for management.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin suggested that, amid global geopolitical instability and centralized power, ETH could develop into a “sanctuary technology” ecosystem. He recommends building open-source, free technology to support functions such as daily life, work, and asset management, while maintaining sustainability under external pressures.
Currently, ETH prices are about 60% below last year’s peak, and capital flows indicate that investors are making structural adjustments in medium- to long-term allocations, with overall prices remaining stable.

Mega Financial Holding Co. held a media briefing on the 10th. Chairman Dong Rui-bin revealed that to objectively compare the efficiency of bank and blockchain remittances, Mega Bank mobilized 17 countries worldwide and 25 overseas branches last year for testing. Branch staff opened accounts at local legal exchanges and used the virtual asset trading platform BitoPro to trade USDT stablecoins, transferring 50 USDT each time back to Taiwan, and compared this with traditional bank cross-border wire transfers.
The results showed that stablecoins do have advantages for small-scale cross-border remittances. However, for remittance amounts exceeding the equivalent of NT$200,000 (about $7,000 USD), banks remain more cost-competitive.
