A previously unidentified wallet transferred 73,400 ETH — worth roughly $166 million at the time of the transaction — directly to Binance. Moves of this scale to an exchange are typically read as preparation for a sale, making it one of the larger single ETH deposits seen recently.
Whale transfers to centralised exchanges historically create short-term sell pressure, as holders rarely route nine-figure sums to Binance for custody alone. ETH market participants will be watching order books closely for any sign the position is being unwound.
