In the running year, it has been noticed that many major cryptocurrency exchanges have started facing a drop in their crypto-reserves. Many crypto-exchanges have mentioned that they have experienced a significant drop in their cryptocurrency reserves from the beginning of the year.
These cryptocurrency exchanges have confirmed that out of all the cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin has been the one that has been dropping faster than the rest. They confirmed that in the beginning of the year, the cryptocurrency reserves are at a very satisfactory number.
However, towards the mid of the year, it has been observed by some crypto-exchanges that the users holding the bitcoin (BTC) on these exchanges have slowly cashed out their coins. These exchanges confirmed that as of now, a total of 187,000 bitcoins worth $2.1 Billion have been drained out.
