Strange Bitcoin Transfer Worth $260,387,071 Lands on World’s Largest Crypto Exchange

A big Bitcoin move on Binance worth a whopping $260,387,071 just occurred, and it looks like it was not an accident.

Whale Alert data shows 3,000 BTC sent from an external wallet into Binance’s “15KX2” deposit address. Arkham links the sending wallets to Matrixport-related infrastructure. Two Matrixport-connected wallets deposited about 4,000 BTC, worth around $347.56 million, into Binance on the same day.

Matrixport is a crypto financial services firm that was founded by Jihan Wu, the former CEO of Bitmain. It mostly works with institutions and high-net-worth clients, offering custody, OTC trading, lending, derivatives and structured yield products.

Matrixport is not your typical retail exchange. People usually use its wallets for execution, hedging and balance management — not for long-term holding.

Two weeks earlier, the same receiving wallet got Bitcoin from BIT.com Matrixport addresses in multiple inflows: 496 BTC, 504 BTC, 998.99 BTC and 1,001 BTC. Today’s deposit is the final step in that process, moving the coins to Binance for active trading in spot or derivatives markets.

What’s with Bitcoin price?

The price of Bitcoin is one to watch here since it is trading at about $86,600 and not able to stay above $90,000 for two months already. Since October, prices have been hitting lower highs, with repeated pullbacks after rallies. 

Large exchange deposits during this type of structure have a history of increasing short-term supply risk, especially when the sender is tied to trading and yield strategies.

There is no confirmed spot selling yet. The order book data does not show immediate distribution that matches the full size of the deposit. Thus, there are three things to think about here: selling Bitcoin in stages to get cash, setting aside collateral for short or options exposure, or getting ready for higher volatility.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
