Ethereum network went under a major network upgrade in September last year, moving from a proof-of-work (PoW) to a proof-of-stake (PoS) network and the event was called the Merge.<\/p>\n<p>According to on-chain data shared by the crypto analytic group Santiment, the amount of available ETH sitting on exchanges continues to fall. Since the Merge, there is 37% fewer ETH on exchanges. A constant decline in supply on exchanges is considered a bullish sign as there is less ETH available to trade or sell.<\/p>\n<p>There were a total of 19.12 million ETH worth $31.3 billion on exchanges in September before the Merge. The number has now declined to 13.36 million ETH worth $19.7 billion in the second week of February.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2023-02\/49263e30-a718-43cf-9e3d-b329280b4c9b.png\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Ethereum supply on exchanges.
