Bitcoin Balances on Exchanges at 2-Year Low and That May Be a Bullish Sign

Posted on by [email protected]_84

The balance of bitcoin on major exchanges has hit its lowest levels since November 2018. Yet unlike that time, when bitcoin was in the depths of the crypto winter, some see this current spate of low bitcoin balances on exchanges as a sign that a new generation of investors is putting its money in it for the long term.

The last time bitcoin balances on exchanges were at this low a point was in November 2018, according to data from Glassnode. A hard fork on Bitcoin Cash that month may have also caused the declining bitcoin balances on exchanges since some owners were moving their bitcoins to private wallets in order to claim the new tokens from the fork. Bitcoin then continued its bearish trend into the beginning of 2019, before it recovered in April of that year.

Ali Akay, the London-based chief investment officer of Carrhae, expects returns on developing-nation equities to surpass those of the U.S. and Europe. Emerging markets didn’t fully benefit from low interest rates in the past decade and the potential for more stimulus, especially from China, should provide some support.

“We are optimistic on the trajectory of emerging markets,” Akay said in an interview. “Asset prices haven’t been juiced up as much. We just got through almost a decade of underperformance versus U.S. assets.”

EM stocks remain relatively cheap compared with U.S. peers

While the pace of recovery in emerging economies outside of China has been weak, growth will accelerate from the second quarter of next year as central banks feel little pressure
