Many see the exchange balance as an indicator of the available supply of Bitcoin for trading purposes. Over the years, there has been a steady decline in this supply on exchanges, leading to speculation about a potential supply shock.

However, a recent update by Glassnode regarding Coinbase balances has revealed a different story. The inclusion of new entities in the Coinbase balance has led to a notable increase in the total balance, shifting the trend from a downward trajectory to a more stable level.

An on-chain analyst also highlighted the complexity of monitoring exchange balances and noted that the overall exchange balance chart has remained relatively flat in recent years.
