1 0x Research: $6.75 billion in BTC and $1.9 billion in ETH were withdrawn from exchanges last month
10x Research said in its latest report that Bitcoin is currently close to the top of its range and faces challenges in breaking through its all-time high. This can be attributed to the Bitcoin halving event on April 20. After the halving, the minting of stablecoins has slowed down significantly, and the number of wallets holding more than $10 million in stablecoins has decreased. This trend is hindering Bitcoin from setting new highs.
A massive amount of Bitcoin (worth $6.75 billion) has been withdrawn from exchanges over the past month (down 97,000 BTC). This record outflow was driven primarily by two U.S.-focused exchanges: Kraken (down 55,000 BTC, or about $3.8 billion) and Coinbase (down 24,000 BTC, or about $1.7 billion).
Last week, $771 million was withdrawn from exchanges, which is a significant number compared to the 13,500 BTC issued last month. The only exchange with a significant inflow was Bitfinex (72,000 BTC). In comparison, Bitcoin spot ETFs bought about $3.9 billion worth of Bitcoin (56,000 BTC) last month.
Additionally, a large amount of Ethereum worth $1.9 billion was withdrawn from exchanges last month. Inflows came from Binance and Coinbase, while outflows came from Bitfinex and Kraken. In the past week, only $56 million worth of Ethereum was withdrawn from exchanges, indicating that the outflow rate has slowed significantly and the demand for Ethereum has been decreasing in various forms.

Uniswap founder: Ethereum L2 shouldn’t focus on immutability until L1 is ready
Hayden Adams, founder of Uniswap, said in a post on the X platform yesterday that L2 chains focused on Ethereum expansion should not focus on immutability (the ability to retain an unchanged and unchangeable transaction ledger) until the Ethereum blockchain is ready.
“Ethereum L2 should not be immutable. It’s been 10 years and L1 is not ready to be immutable,” Adams said, adding that it is “pointless” to expect that the L2 network “will never be upgraded again or force a large-scale migration.”
“The very nature of how users and applications are interconnected on L2 chains breaks composability if some migrate and some don’t,” he explained.
The Ethereum Foundation has stated that the L2 chain is its expansion plan. In response, Jonathan Colón, head of the ecosystem at the NFT market Rarible, called the L2 network a money grab.
Adams responded: “The whole plan to scale Ethereum is ‘L2’, we either make them work or change the roadmap (I’m leaning towards the former). Calling them money grabs [or] saying they need to be immutable doesn’t change that. They’re expensive to build, and L1 doesn’t fund the work.”

It’s a very real possibility that despite our best efforts, we won’t be able to review 100% of all reports. We will absolutely complete most of them, but we may not complete all of them, so I want to make sure we get quality reports.”
