Leading altcoin Ethereum moved to Binance
Altcoin Ethereum (ETH) whales, which ranks second by market capitalization according to on-chain data, transferred a certain amount to Binance, the world’s largest exchange with transaction volume. According to experts, abnormally large transfers of cryptocurrencies from wallets to exchanges are typically a bearish signal. Most high-net-worth cryptocurrency traders keep their funds in a hardware wallet because these devices offer better security than cryptocurrency exchanges. Hardware wallets store investors’ private keys offline and protect cryptocurrencies from online attacks.
When whales transfer Ethereum to an exchange, it usually means they are looking for liquidity, according to experts. Since the security risks of holding large amounts of cryptocurrencies on an exchange are higher than holding these assets in a hardware wallet, it is unlikely that the investor plans to hold their crypto on Binance. To many, it is likely that this Bitcoin whale plans to either sell Ethereum or trade it for other altcoins.
