Binance Receives Gargantuan Bitcoin Deposit From Wallet Linked to Previous Surge
A Bitcoin whale known for his big moves that impact the market has reportedly deposited 4,451 BTC, equivalent to $133.7 million, to Binance, as per the tweet from Lookonchain. This substantial deposit has sparked a flurry of speculation among crypto enthusiasts and market analysts.
