Ethereum Whales Shake Binance with Massive Withdrawals
Over the past month, a large holder of Ethereum (ETH) has been observed pulling out substantial amounts of the popular alternative cryptocurrency from the Binance cryptocurrency exchange.
According to blockchain tracking company Lookonchain, this entity has withdrawn 50,100 ETH, equivalent to more than $91 million, from Binance since June 8th.
Lookonchain has also noted the activity of another significant investor, referred to as a “whale,” who has been purchasing significant quantities of ETH. In addition to ETH, this investor has accumulated CurveDAO (CRV), a decentralized stablecoin lending project, and Lido (LDO), an Ethereum liquid staking service.
