11.3K Bitcoin Deposited to Binance on February 25: Whales React to Bitcoin and XRP Drops

CryptoQuant’s analysis of Bitcoin and whale transaction behavior shows that market instability has prompted whales to demonstrate their strategic asset movements in the past 3 months. The escalation of market volatility triggered significant Bitcoin inflows from whales on prominent exchanges Binance, Kraken, and Coinbase, but Binance received substantially more inflows than its competitors.

Whales move fast when volatility hits.

Binance Dominates Inflows Amid Bitcoin and XRP Volatility

Binance received 11.3K BTC of whale Bitcoin deposits on February 25 as prices crashed below $90K, while Coinbase registered 4.9K BTC and Kraken registered 0.8K BTC whale transactions. The swift changes in capital movement reveal whale investment patterns during market declines because wealth holders use major trading platforms to either find bargain opportunities or protect assets before market movements.

XRP Whale Activity Points to Key Turning Points in Price

XRP shows identical patterns of capital movement to Bitcoin. The total whale deposits of XRP at the Binance exchange range from 0.2 to 6.9 billion tokens per day, which exceeds activity at all other cryptocurrency trading platforms. Massive token transfers on the exchanges occur when XRP reaches its significant price milestones. XRP’s price reached its lowest point during April 7–9, when the XRP inflows rose from 1.2 billion to 6.9 billion XRP, which revealed a potential buying signal for the upcoming price change.

Binance acts as more than a volume leader because it functions as an essential price discovery center, particularly during times when altcoins attract major institutional and whale participants.

Stablecoin flow signals market sentiment.

The stablecoin traffic to Binance remains stable and modest because the exchange possesses deep liquidity alongside market trust. The consistent dry powder deployments on Binance indicate that traders consider it their favored platform because it signals upcoming price movements.

Major market movements often occur shortly after stablecoin networks experience significant inflow spikes because these movements indicate whales are ready to initiate substantial trading or investment shifts.

Why Whale Flow Tracking Matters

Exchange whale monitoring requires evaluation of numbers alongside investor sentiment together with trading placements and market entry opportunities. Market participants who send massive inflows reveal their phases of accumulation or distribution and pick their exchange locations for maximum trust and accessibility. 

The flow of large investments in volatile market conditions helps investors gain strategic insight that allows them to predict future market trends and identify major players’ upcoming financial movements.
