MATIC Dumps To Binance: A Recurring Phenomenon

According to the data revealed by Spot on Chain, Polygon’s transfer of MATIC to Binance has become quite prevalent across the vast sea of crypto ever since the above-mentioned wallet address received a staggering 240 million tokens from a Polygon Foundation contract on August 25, 2022. Subsequently, the address has shifted 17 million MATIC to Binance at an average of $0.802 since June 5 last year, to date.

Concerning this, the data provided also sheds light on a substantial 15.5 million MATIC, which was shifted to Binance by two wallets linked to Polygon in the past 5 days. This, additionally, appears to have piqued crypto market traders’ and investors’ interests, as even a previous similar transfer slightly drove the price south.

In the interim, it still holds 218 million coins, worth roughly $186 million, with 210 million kept under Polygon Staking, birthing additional inferences for future dumps and their potential negative impacts on MATIC’s price.
