Binance, a major player in the cryptocurrency exchange market, has experienced a significant financial shift. The company processed nearly $1 billion in net outflows over 24 hours, following criminal charges in the U.S. and the resignation of its CEO, Changpeng 'CZ' Zhao, as part of a $4.3 billion settlement. Despite these substantial outflows, market analysts from CryptoQuant note that these movements are not yet significant in comparison to Binance's total reserves. Binance is also preparing to make a complete exit from the U.S. market.
The data shows withdrawals slightly above average, but not unusually large for weekly metrics. Dune Analytics data revealed over $2.37 billion in various tokens were withdrawn, while around $1.78 billion were deposited back. Notable transactions include a withdrawal of $83 million by an address linked to FalconX and a $190 million deposit by one connected to Wintermute Trading. BNB tokens emerged as the most actively moved tokens. This scenario, significantly different from FTX's situation last year, indicates stable operations at Binance, backed by over $67 billion in tokens and stablecoins.
