According to data provided by Glassnode, roughly $19.5 billion of BTC, ETH and USDT was brought to the exchanges, last week. Bitcoin leads the inflow with $9.6 billion while the largest stablecoin was not far away, reaching the $9.5 billion mark.

Glassnode data shows that $1 billion worth of BTC was brought to the exchanges yesterday alone. ETH and USDT witnessed $366 million and $460.3 million inflows in the past 24 hours, respectively.
