The analysis showed all of the Bitcoin transferred to Binance came from short-term holders. Investors who had bought Bitcoin less than a day earlier sent about 17,800 BTC to the exchange.
By contrast, holders who had kept Bitcoin for more than six months did not send any coins to Binance. Darkfost described the move as pure short-term speculation rather than structural selling.
The inflow from short-term holders into Binance was the largest since February. Darkfost added that such brief, impulsive trading is amplifying renewed volatility in the digital-asset market.
