There could be some merit to this claim as whales have been <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/4-billion-in-2-weeks-bitcoin-whales-go-on-massive-accumulation-spree\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">accumulating<\/a> in large portions lately.<\/p>\n<p>However, others brought some fear to the market, claiming that Binance might have become a victim of a hack, similar and even bigger than the one <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bybit-hacker-reportedly-launders-entire-1-4b-loot-in-just-10-days\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">against<\/a> Bybit from earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>CryptoQuant\u2019s analysis quickly refuted both theses, indicating that the move was most probably an internal transfer.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhile the size of the transaction raised questions, all evidence suggests this was an internal movement, not a user withdrawal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Maartunn noted that the confirmation will be evident in Binance\u2019s proof of reserves report, which was scheduled to be released on May 1. However, the paper has not been published as of press time.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, there seems to be little to no actual reason to worry, at least given the currently available information. BTC\u2019s price was also largely unaffected by the transfer, as it\u2019s actually up by a few grand from April 25.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/2-35-billion-in-btc-moved-from-binance-should-investors-be-alarmed\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">$2.35 Billion in BTC Moved From Binance: Should Investors Be Alarmed?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR The short and most probable answer to the question in the title is \u2013 no.
