Fact Check
The strongest evidence is the Lookonchain X post (https://x.com/lookonchain/status/2046274759839879445), which directly states that whale 0x8Ad4 withdrew 12,000 ETH worth about $27.6 million from Binance over the prior three hours to repay Aave loans. This matches the claim closely. Odaily's newsflash (https://www.odaily.news/zh-CN/newsflash/477608) supports the general scenario of Binance ETH withdrawals and Aave loan repayment by a whale, though it reports a larger total withdrawal of 18,300 ETH with 12,000 ETH used for repayment, so it is only partial corroboration. The fetched Arkham page confirms the referenced address exists but does not independently prove the specific movement in the available content. Because the main support is a single social-media source plus partial secondary corroboration, the claim is likely true but not established with high confidence from independently verifiable primary records in this run.
