Ethereum exchange balances drop by 1.15 million ETH between June 2 and Aug. 18

AI Market Summary
Ethereum exchange balances fell by ~1.15M ETH (≈15%) from June 2 to Aug 18, signaling reduced liquid supply versus Bitcoin's modest exchange-balance increase. The drawdown coincides with near-record staking, growing corporate treasuries, and a sharp resurgence in US spot ETH ETF inflows ($189.15M on Aug 19 led by BlackRock's ETHA). Supportive US policy messaging adds to near-term risk-on positioning in ETH.
