As we have reported as Kriptokoin.com , since 2020, there has been a trend of ETH withdrawals from exchanges. Santiment’s latest data shows that this is reversed. According to a report by Santiment, ETH, along with other cryptos, seems to have entered a period of correction after performing very well at the beginning of the year. As of now, ETH is losing 50 percent per year.
📊 $2.21B worth of #Ethereum has moved back to exchanges over the past week after a long-term exodus of coins moving off of exchanges, dating back to August of 2020.

A separate statement by Santiment, It shows that while cryptos like ETH are experiencing a sharp increase in transfers to exchanges, the risk factor is increasing. The profitability of both ETH and BTC fell last month, hitting a 30-day high after the impact on Wednesday’s SP500 stock index. However, current market dynamics showing a level of recession may initially be an indication of a crypto winter. At the moment, it is not yet clear how this dynamic will affect the market or whether it will continue to affect it.
😒 #Bitcoin and #Ethereum gave up the profits that it had been enjoying since the weekend after the #SP500 wobbled to a loss Wednesday. The "profitability line" was crossed for our 30-day MVRV metric, indicating that risk had temporarily jumped higher. https://t.co/n0ZvUCngZX pic.twitter.com/ocbKC2N7G3
