✨ |Data check|

With the bankruptcy of FTX, users are aware of the lack of transparency when they keep their crypto assets in CEX. Meanwhile, some CEXs have announced that they will provide proof of reserves in order to make the "black box" custody of crypto assets more "transparent".However, users' trust decrease gradually, and even @elonmusk said in TS: crypto assets should be kept in cold wallets.

  • As of Nov 13th, the indicators of DEX-CEX spot trading volume and DEX-CEX futures trading volume have both increased significantly by nearly 50% compared to the previous month.

  • With the trading volume of DEX to CEX increasing significantly, more and more CEXs are pointed out that there is a danger of bankruptcy which causes the "withdrawal movement" keeping forward.

    These pictures show the flow of various assets (including stablecoins and ETH) on exchanges in the past 7 days. It is not difficult to see that billions of assets are flowing out from various mainstream exchanges.

  • Meanwhile, the total amount of stablecoins and ETH in exchanges both have a sharply decline.

  • Crypto assets continue to flow out of CEX to personal wallets, and choosing a cold or hot wallet is also worth paying attention to. According to Google trend data, the attention of cold wallets has increased significantly compared to hot wallets.

It is believed that protecting the security of your coins will be one of the hot topics which will continue to be followed.
