It seems our analysis of the transfer from @steemit2 to @bithumb.hot was wrong.
If the STEEM is still there, it hasn't been sold to cover expanses. Or maybe they're gonna sell it gradually. We will see in the next dew days / weeks.

Thanks for all the information, another layer of mistery !

That is amazing!!............information

Nice post! Followed and upvoted! Check out @atimk23 for useful cryptocurrency and blockchain updates and useful things! Have a nice day!

It’s gotten to the point I don’t care what happens . Steem will never see the 8.00 mark again .

I really don't understand why would somebody hold STEEM outside of STEEM blockchain...

You're right, why would anyone hold such a big amount of Steem on an exchange? Could it be speculators?

Great information.

This is very interesting. Thanks!

Do you have similar charts / statistics about SBD?

Great work with this man! :)

This is an interesting table, you could share it every week once... or two time ... what new numbers.

That’s a great investigation!
To bad to see so many steem unused maybe it s better this way.
This people did buy it as an invested and when they would bring it here to steemit! They only thing they could do to protect their investment is to delegate it to bots!
Cheers,

Hey @penguinpablo! Great work as always! 

Is there any way you could provide data on **the total amount of steem powered up?**

Wow, 14.5 million Steem blocked on Poloniex! I didn't realize the situation was so bad over there for Steem users. Great information!

nice presentation of facts this kind of blog will help like me newbies in the crypto world nice post @penguinpablo thanks and God blessed.

wow

I had no idea there was actually so much STEEM on these exchanges. I am very intrigued. At the same time, concerned about the issues at Poloniex. Can you imagine what would happen if they defaulted on these quantities?

Why is the amount stored on upbit going down so much any ideas?

> Because 14.5 million STEEM is currently locked up on Poloniex, an exchange that has deposits and withdrawals disabled for months now.

The same for HitBTC

Great info. I’ve always wondered where all of the Steem is

Good info, man. That's a lot of STEEM.

Why do poloniex disable steem on their exchange? Cheers mike

Wat is the problem with poloniex though.. When are they resuming the deposit and withdrawal process for steem?

I didn't know poloniex had withdrawals suspended for months. Scary.

OMG, 63% of liquid STEEM is ridiculous.

Nice job.

Interesting to see how the rumors surrounding UpBit have impacted the volumes there.  Also great to see how much the new exchanges have gotten involved in the market.  This adds to the liquidity available which is great! Lastly, having only 20% liquid on exchanges could prove to be a springboard once demand for SMTs potentially come along.  Thanks for these specifics!

That is excellent analysis. Could you also add two more analysis
1. How much steem is held as steem
2. how much steem is held as SBD
3. How much steem is held as SP

and how much held SP actually upvotes

Very cool data, this is awesome. Interesting that Bittrex is unwinding their steem balance.

Great graphs.  Hopefully, the amount stored on these exchanges act like bitcoin in stuck wallets and cannot be sold to help stabalize the price a bit.

I use your stats all the time to monitor steem, great work! 

With 20% of the total supply on exchanges, I guess that means plenty of potential for further future price volatility, probably downwards against BTC. 

It'll be interested to see what happens to that 15M currently locked up.

What happened on May 24?

Great info. 

Does this mean that roughly 30 mm steem is stored on steem blockchain wallets?  How long will it take before all 269 mm steem is released by the blockchain?

It is unfortunate that both Poloniex and HitBTC have abandoned their STEEM/SBD wallets. I feel that what they are doing is skating on illegal. They use the central wallet for Steemians to deposit their STEEM and SBD into the exchange. From there they create a virtual currency that they trade with based on the central wallet that has all the STEEM and SBD in it. 

Why I think what they are doing could be considered illegal is that since they have abandoned the wallets with the actual STEEM and SBD in them, then the virtual supply of STEEM and SBD becomes invalid. Essentially, the virtual supply that they call STEEM and SBD on their exchange is fake. It is no longer valid. The potentiall illegal aspect is that they know they are trading a fake currency on their exchange and continue to do so.

Both Poloniex and HitBTC want to certify themselves in more countries. I would expect that some countries will require regular audits. I can't imagine how they are going to explain how they were trading a fake currency on their exchange for so long. What does that do to the legitimacy of the currencies that their fake currency trades with?

Awesome info! Thanks for posting.
