Massive drop in Ethereum exchange reserves signals imminent supply shock, ETH eyes $8,000

  • Average Ethereum gas fees stay above $20 due to an increase in pressure from smart contracts on the network’s blockchain.

400,000 Ethereum tokens are the equivalent of $1.5 billion, withdrawn from the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange. The exchange outflow indicator is considered a sign of increased outflow and a supply shortage in Ethereum.
