The transfers moved 25,560 ETH off Binance and into a new wallet, a shift traders often watch for signs of custody changes and its potential effect on exchange liquidity.
An a16z-linked wallet withdrew a total of 25,560 ETH worth about $42.30 million from Binance over nine hours before the funds were moved to a new wallet. The latest transfer involved 12,780 ETH valued at roughly $21.21 million, according to BlockBeats, citing Onchain Lens. Large exchange outflows are often monitored because they can reflect internal treasury movements or custody changes and can reduce the amount of tokens immediately available for trading. Crypto Briefing said the withdrawal trend highlights growing institutional caution and could increase Ethereum price volatility if exchange liquidity tightens.
