In recent trading activity, Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by daily volume, has facilitated significant withdrawals of Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL).

On-chain data from Arkham Intelligence reveals that Binance’s hot wallet offloaded at least 103,570 SOL, valued at approximately $16.32 million. This activity coincided with an 8% drop in Solana’s price, now trading at $157.58.

Additionally, Binance reportedly sold around 25,000 ETH, worth $80 million, between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM UTC, leading to a 3.5% drop in Ethereum’s price. ETH is currently trading at $2,683.

The transactions have sparked discussions among traders and analysts. Some speculate that major market makers like Wintermute are withdrawing or staking tokens, indicating high demand.

Others suggest that Binance might be rebalancing its portfolio, adjusting its exposure to volatile assets, and preparing for potential market turbulence.

This move could signal Binance’s expectations of upcoming market volatility, influencing liquidity and trading volumes for these tokens.

By reducing active trading liquidity, Binance’s actions might lead to wider spreads and more pronounced price swings, affecting overall market sentiment and prompting further adjustments by other market participants.
