Hello anon,

We tracked the most interesting onchain wallet movements of whales / smart money, to understand how they are behaving while the market is impacted by Binance / Coinbase FUD

๐Ÿ“ˆ Broader Overview:

#1 ๐Ÿช™ Stablecoin / ETH flows

  • June 1st had the highest stablecoins outflows from exchanges since December 2022 ($980m taken out of CEXs)

  • ETH has been flowing out of CEXs as well across last week, due to CEXs regulatory issues

#2 ๐Ÿ“ฐ Binance / Coinbase FUD

Over the last week, we had pretty significant outflows as well due to Binance / Coinbase FUD

People are scared about regulatory risk and are pulling out funds from the major exchanges: you can see Binance had -16% stablecoin balance change, and Coinbase a whopping -52%!
