The amount of Ethereum on centralized exchanges is steadily declining. Against this backdrop, the share of supply locked in the DeFi sector is rising. This is evidenced by data from Glassnode<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the chart below, a rapid inflow into the smart contracts of decentralised applications (dapps) began in June. The outflow of ETH from exchanges has been observed since February.<\/p>\n

Over the past months, the share of Ethereum supply on dapps has risen from 11% to 17%. The number of coins on exchanges has fallen from 19,000 ETH to 15,500 ETH.<\/p>\n

Against the backdrop of positive price momentum, Ethereum\u2019s hash rate has hit an all-time high above 260 TH\/s.<\/p>\n
