whales on Binance, the leviathan of crypto exchanges, remain as serene as a monk in meditation, despite the tempest of macroeconomic uncertainty and the hemorrhaging of funds from US-based spot BTC exchange-traded funds. ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ธ

Last week, financial markets, including the crypto realm, were thrown into disarray as US President Donald Trump, in a fit of tariff-induced bravado, escalated the rate on Chinese imports to a staggering 145%. China, not one to be outdone, retaliated with a 125% tariff on US goods. ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ

On April 9, Trump, perhaps sensing the chaos he had wrought, announced a 90-day pause on the tariffsโ€”except for China, of course. This sparked a glimmer of hope in the crypto market, but the volatility, much like a restless spirit, refused to be quelled by the specter of a trade war and the looming threat of recession. ๐ŸŒช๏ธ๐Ÿ“‰

According to a CryptoQuant analysis, the once-mighty inflows into Binance have dwindled by $3 billion as the market began its upward climb. ๐Ÿ“‰โžก๏ธ๐Ÿ“ˆ

How are Binance whales reacting to market uncertainty?

This movement echoes the May 2024 correction, as the selling pressure from Binance whales seems to be stabilizing, much like a ship finding its bearings in a storm. ๐Ÿšขโš“

Another Selloff?

The crypto market is once again in the throes of correction. The global crypto market cap has dipped by 0.4% to $2.67 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap. ๐Ÿ“‰๐ŸŒ

This mild selloff coincides with Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) investment products ending last week with strong outflows. From April 7 to 11, spot BTC ETFs in the US recorded a total net outflow of $713 million, according to data from SoSoValue. ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ“‰

ETH-based ETFs saw $82.4 million in net outflow during the same period. ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ’ธ

The market-wide correction has also led to increased liquidations. According to CoinGlass data, roughly $341 millionโ€”$213 million longs and $127 million shortsโ€”has been wiped out from the crypto market in the past 24 hours. ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ธ
