Exactly two years ago, the cryptocurrency market experienced a serious crisis. Then, from May 12 to 20, the Bitcoin exchange rate fell from $57,000 to $37,000, which means it lost about 35 percent of its value.

The number of ethers on centralized crypto exchanges fell to a five-year low. It can be assumed that ETH holders began to actively store them in cold wallets, and also use the coins to interact with decentralized finance, NFT, and stacking.

Not a bad trend.

At the moment, the volatility of the Etherium exchange rate is at 23 percent. This means that the value of ETH has been incredibly stable lately and is virtually unchanged.

They have a total of 1.33 million BTC at their disposal. Here is the corresponding chart for the situation.

Bitcoin's dominance rate exceeded 51 percent, which was the highest in the last three months. Accordingly, BTC now accounts for more than half of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization.
