A large ETH whale withdrew 5,040 ETH from the Binance crypto exchange, totaling $8.17 million. The whale has withdrawn 24,548 ETH worth $40 million from Binance since Sept. 5, according to Lookonchain, with an average withdrawal price of $1,631.

Depositing assets on an exchange usually indicates a desire to sell, while withdrawals may indicate a desire to accumulate.

In a string of moves, a whale that had been dormant for two years awoke and transferred 10,000 ETH worth $16.5 million out. Days later, the whale deposited 10,000 ETH worth $16.5 million to Binance, OKX and KuCoin via three different addresses. The whale then sent out another $10,000 ETH valued at $16.5 million.

In the most recent move of ETH to exchanges, Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin moved 300 ETH (about $493,000) to Kraken on Tuesday.

The impact of the move is seen in the ETH price. This is because market participants pay close attention to whales' on-chain actions since they are regarded as well-informed and have an influence on the market.
