Whale Movement Sparks Speculations
The recent accumulation is raising suspicions about its affiliation, possibly with the Binance exchange itself. Following a lawsuit by the US DoJ, the treasury enforced a settlement penalty of $4 billion on Binance.
As of now, there’s no announcement of Binance liquidating its holding to pay the settlement money. However, there’s a possibility that Binance might sell some of its holdings to clear the fine imposed.
In a recent report from Defillama, it has been revealed that Binance currently owns a substantial total asset holding of $66.917 billion. The breakdown of these holdings includes a staggering $20.578 billion in Bitcoin (BTC), underlining Binance’s significant presence in the BTC market.
Additionally, the exchange holds $18.84 billion in Tether (USDT), a popular stablecoin, further solidifying its influence in the stablecoin sector. Notably, Binance also has a noteworthy position in the Ethereum (ETH) market, with $8.085 billion in Wrapped Ethereum (WETH/ETH).
