A recent report published by Glassnode revealed that the number of Bitcoin (BTC) users who hold their BTC assets in self-custody wallets has hit an all-time high.

As per the report, the recent collapse of FTX has led to a decrease in the percentage of Bitcoin holders who store their assets in exchanges. It revealed that the net BTC balance in exchanges dropped by 72.9K BTC over the last week, with FTX’s BTC balance declining “effectively to zero.”

Similarly, users have withdrawn over 1.101M Ethereum (ETH) assets within the last seven days.

Glassnode compared  FTX’s sudden collapse to the failure of Mt Gox in 2013. It claimed that the downfall of FTX caused users to hold their BTC and ETH tokens in the safety of their self-custody wallets.
