Is A Mega Bull Run Incoming? Whale Transfers Over $780 Million Of Stablecoin To Binance

Data Nerd Data on December 13 shows that over the past 24 hours, the wallet “0xea8” moved 200 million BUSD from Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange by client count.

The whale transfer caught the attention of keen crypto users, who also noted that the transfer was soon followed by a deposit of 99.95 million FDUSD, a stablecoin supported by the exchange.

Whale Address Accumulating FUSD Stablecoin On Binance

That the address is shuffling and accumulating large amounts of stablecoins is noteworthy. Data Nerd Data shows that the address has transferred over 781 million FDUSD to Binance in the last four months.

During this period, from around September, the crypto market has been recovering, edging higher on the back of improving fundamental factors.

The accumulation of over $781 million of stablecoin by the wallet controlled by an unknown individual or entity is overly bullish for crypto and Bitcoin prices.

It could suggest that a large institutional investor or group of investors is amassing stablecoins, potentially preparing for a significant market move.

Historically, large movements of stablecoins into centralized exchanges have often preceded major bull runs. 

Stablecoins are vital for crypto, ensuring there is enough liquidity. Since most are pegged to the USD and can be backed by fiat, these tokens, mostly minted on Ethereum or Tron, are often used as a gateway to crypto. Therefore, their accumulation can signal increased institutional interest and potential buying pressure.

Is A Mega Bitcoin And Crypto Rally In The Making?

That the wallet address is fortifying its FDUSD base reinforces the notion that institutional investors, ahead of the possible approval of the first batch of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States, could be increasingly warming up and preparing for leading coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum to extend gains in 2024. 

When writing on December 13, Bitcoin and top altcoin prices are relatively stable. To illustrate, Bitcoin is trending higher, stable above the $41,000 level after pulling back from 2023 highs of around $44,000. Crypto participants are bullish and expect Bitcoin prices to float even higher in 2024 before halving.

Binance will stop supporting BUSD in 2024. The exchange has also delisted USDC. Accordingly, USDT and FUSD are popular on Binance. However, the exchange continues to be on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) crosshairs. 

In late November, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a $4.3 billion penalty on Binance as settlement with the SEC, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and other aggrieved agencies in the United States. The deal also saw Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, step down from the CEO role.
