Outflows dominated for weeks, but recent inflows suggest traders may return to exchanges soon.
Binance is enjoying a golden moment. Data from on-chain analyst Darkfost of CryptoQuant reveals that the unrealized profit from the exchange’s Bitcoin reserves has reached a fantastic figure: more than 60,000 BTC. Converted to current values, that’s equivalent to around $6 billion. That’s not just big — it’s the highest record in Binance’s history as a BTC storage place.
This moment occurs amid the price of Bitcoin, which has managed to stay above the psychological threshold of $100,000. As of press time, the price of BTC is at about $105,970, up slightly around 0.65% in the last 24 hours and almost 2% in the last 30 days.
This surge has given Binance a big advantage, because according to Darkfost, the average realized price for the BTC they hold is around $56,000. That means they are sitting pretty on a fairly thick profit potential.
What’s interesting is that Binance’s BTC reserve data is not only increasing because of the price. The reserve is growing as people are increasingly storing BTC there. In other words, traders and investors seem to feel comfortable leaving their digital assets with Binance — despite the many other personal storage options like cold wallets. This is a sign that Binance is considered a worthy “Bitcoin vault.”
Oddly enough, though, if we look at data from CoinGlass, the overall market story looks a little different. From early May to mid-June 2025, Bitcoin outflows from exchanges to personal wallets far outweighed inflows. It’s easy to see from the chart: the red bars (outflows) are longer and denser than the green bars (inflows).
This could be a sign that most investors are actually pulling their BTC off exchanges, perhaps for personal safekeeping. Usually that’s a sign that people are in no rush to sell.
However, on June 15, 2025, an interesting exception emerged. There was an inflow to the exchange of $55.29 million — larger than the outflow, which was only $29.66 million. This could be a sign that some market players are starting to bring BTC back to the exchange.
Whether they want to take profits or prepare to enter new positions, what is clear is that this situation needs to be monitored further.
On the other hand, the CNF report highlights one thing that is quite surprising. Even though US bond yields are still high — which are usually Bitcoin’s rivals as a store of value — BTC is still moving forward. It’s a bit like you are offered a high deposit interest rate, but you choose to keep gold under your pillow instead. The difference is, the “gold” here is digital, and you know its price can explode at any time.
This phenomenon gives the impression that most market players are starting to consider Bitcoin no longer mere speculation, but a decent and serious asset parking place.
