March 4 News: Ethereum (ETH) has recently been trading sideways around $2,000, with investors choosing to withdraw assets from exchanges. According to on-chain data and analysis reports, over the past month, total ETH withdrawals have reached approximately 31.6 million, the highest since November last year. Among them, the largest single platform withdrawal was about 14.45 million, with other major platforms recording outflows of approximately 3.83 million and 1.04 million. gammafund.eth made a single withdrawal of 9,000 ETH, and BitMine increased its holdings by 50,992.8 ETH, accounting for about 3.71% of the total ETH supply.
Data shows that exchange ETH reserves have decreased from 16.8 million at the beginning of the year to 15.9 million, reaching a recent low on March 2. Analyst Arab Chain stated that this reflects some investors moving assets to private wallets for management.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin suggested that, amid global geopolitical instability and centralized power, ETH could develop into a “sanctuary technology” ecosystem. He recommends building open-source, free technology to support functions such as daily life, work, and asset management, while maintaining sustainability under external pressures.
Currently, ETH prices are about 60% below last year’s peak, and capital flows indicate that investors are making structural adjustments in medium- to long-term allocations, with overall prices remaining stable.

From 02:00 to 02:15 (UTC) on 2026-04-02, ETH experienced a significant decline. Over 15 minutes, the return was -1.01%. The price fluctuated between 2078.19 and 2100.1 USDT, with an amplitude of 1.04%. Short-term trading was active, market attention increased, and volatility intensified.

At the same time, during this period, capital flowed out net, buy-side support was insufficient, and the concentrated selling pressure led to a sharp short-term decline in ETH.
