In this context, CryptoQuant analyst examined the effects and reasons behind BTC outflows.
Evaluating the impact for investors first, the analyst said that the SEC lawsuit caused fear and uncertainty among crypto investors.

This trend shows that users are actively withdrawing their Bitcoin holdings from these exchanges to alternative storage options, such as personal wallets or other exchanges that are perceived as more compatible.”
"Users prefer personal wallets that provide direct control over their crypto holdings and reduce their dependence on centralized exchanges," the analyst said. said.
Finally, the analyst stated that Bitcoins coming out of exchanges potentially lead to a decrease in liquidity.
“Increased outflows from Binance and Coinbase potentially lead to reduced liquidity.
This reduced liquidity, combined with concerns about regulatory compliance, could contribute to increased price volatility in the short term."
