The price of Ether (ETH) has increased by almost 3.5% over the past 24 hours to $3342.
According to the ViewBase platform, during the week investors withdrew 203,147 ETH from centralized crypto exchanges for a total amount of up to $682.997 million.
The exchange balance of ETH in mid-January decreased to 11.6% of the total cryptocurrency market supply. Analysts are positive about such data, as the reduction in the supply of the asset eases the pressure on it from sellers. This should have a positive impact on the cost of Ethereum against the backdrop of increasing demand.
