Analysis: Binance whale group consistently favors ETH, while opinions on BTC's future diverge

ChainCatcher message, on-chain data analyst Murphy published an article explaining the divergence and consensus among Binance whales after a rapid increase in mainstream stablecoin balances on Binance. During this period, Binance's BTC balance increased by 7,709 coins. The number of BTC bought and withdrawn from the trading platform was less than the number of BTC transferred in with the intention to sell. Two forces are in opposition: one group consists of large transfers ranging from $1 million to $10 million, while the other group involves large transfers exceeding $10 million; in April of this year, the direction of these two forces was consistent, both transferring out, but after August 13, a divergence began to appear.

Group A's whales continuously deposited BTC into Binance, while Group B persistently withdrew BTC, leading to a confrontation. Both groups are not ordinary retail investors in terms of capital size and are evenly matched; Group A represents potential selling pressure, while Group B represents buying demand, and currently, the former clearly holds the advantage. Notably, the data for ETH is exactly the opposite of BTC; during this period, Binance's ETH balance not only did not increase but also significantly decreased by 1.616 million coins. Although there had been a slow downward trend in balance before, the acceleration of ETH being transferred out during this period is very evident.

Similarly, there are two large whale groups on Binance with transfer sizes of $1 million to $10 million and greater than $10 million; with ETH, they showed no divergence and consistently withdrew coins, which sharply contrasts with the confrontation among BTC whales. The larger funds on Binance show a higher consistency in their intentions towards ETH, favoring it more. In contrast, BTC has a divergence and confrontation among whales, thus failing to quickly reduce the potential selling pressure on the trading platform.
