# Binance 30-Day Moving Average of Small Bitcoin Deposits Falls to 281 BTC By Enna Lee Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/47837 Published: 2026-11-03T16:44:29.000Z Updated: 2026-11-03T16:44:29.000Z Section: Investing > The measure is about 90% below its 2019-21 peak and counts deposits under 1 BTC, not all retail purchases or holdings. A 30-day average of Bitcoin (BTC) deposits smaller than 1 BTC to Binance stood at 281 BTC on Nov. 3, about 90% below its 2,700 BTC peak during 2019-21. The decline describes one category of exchange deposits, not all activity by retail Bitcoin investors. The figure is a moving average, so 281 BTC is not the total deposited over the 30-day period. The measure groups transfers by deposit size; it does not capture every retail purchase or the amount investors hold. The average rose to about 1,900 BTC in early 2023 after the FTX collapse. Around market peaks in March and December 2024, it briefly ranged from 900 BTC to 1,200 BTC. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, which launched in January 2024, give investors another way to gain exposure without self-custodying Bitcoin. ETF activity and deposits to Binance are separate measures, and the deposit figure does not establish why the average has fallen. TokenPost previously covered a different measure: the [30-day cumulative dollar value of retail Bitcoin deposits to Binance](), which reached $10.75 billion, a six-month high. That figure tracks deposit value in dollars, while the current measure averages the BTC amount of deposits below 1 BTC. ## Links in this article - [30-day cumulative dollar value of retail Bitcoin deposits to Binance](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/40716)
