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. πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈπŸ’Έ

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. πŸš¨πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¨πŸ‡³

On April 9, Trump, perhaps sensing the chaos he had wrought, announced a 90-day pause on the tariffsβ€”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. πŸŒͺοΈπŸ“‰

According to a CryptoQuant analysis, the once-mighty inflows into Binance have dwindled by $3 billion as the market began its upward climb. πŸ“‰βž‘οΈπŸ“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. πŸš’βš“

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. πŸ“‰πŸŒ

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. πŸ’ΈπŸ“‰

ETH-based ETFs saw $82.4 million in net outflow during the same period. πŸ“‰πŸ’Έ

The market-wide correction has also led to increased liquidations. According to CoinGlass data, roughly $341 millionβ€”$213 million longs and $127 million shortsβ€”has been wiped out from the crypto market in the past 24 hours. πŸ’₯πŸ’Έ
