ETH has been flowing into long‑term holding channels, including staking, layer 2 networks, corporate digital asset treasuries (DATs), and collateral loops.
One analyst described it as ETH entering its tightest supply environment ever, with ETH “quietly” being pulled into places that don’t sell, which could create a supply squeeze if demand increases.
In contrast, bitcoin’s exchange balance is still higher at around 14.7% of total supply.
