In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has once again begun a large-scale "exodus" from centralized exchanges.
Coinglass has detected an intriguing figure: a net outflow of 8,830.51 BTC from all CEXs combined. The direction of this move is clear—transferring from platform accounts to on-chain wallets and cold wallets under users’ own control.
Looking at the specific flows is even more interesting:
**Major Outflows** One leading exchange alone withdrew 6,294.74 BTC, making up the majority; Gemini took out 1,221.66 BTC; another mainstream platform saw an outflow of 1,023.75 BTC.
**A Notable Exception** Bitfinex, on the other hand, absorbed 1,123.51 BTC. This one-way inflow stands out amid the wave of withdrawals, likely indicating institutions adjusting their positions, or market makers relocating their liquidity pools.
Structurally, this is a classic "decentralization migration" signal. Similar moves are often seen before and after major market turning points—either whales are preparing for new positions, or the market has entered a wait-and-see period, awaiting the next opportunity window.
The next step is to closely monitor the subsequent movements of the on-chain addresses to get a clearer picture of where this batch of Bitcoin ultimately ends up.

Here we go again, this wave of BTC fleeing from CEXs... the big whales are starting to play psychological warfare again.

It's that time again when big players quietly run away. I'm tired of this trickery.

The big players are playing word games; the real battle for chips is just beginning.

What are the whales planning with this move? The real big action is probably yet to come.

Whales are quietly accumulating coins again, and cold wallet addresses are about to increase.
