Binance Sees $1.2B in Weekly Outflows as ETH Withdrawals Surge
Binance recorded $1.23B in net weekly outflows, a 207% jump, while Ethereum withdrawals hit their highest point in three years.
If you've been keeping an eye on crypto exchange activity, Binance just had a pretty wild week. The world's largest crypto exchange saw net outflows hit $1.23 billion in a single week — that's more than triple what left the platform the week before, representing a 207% spike. In plain English: a lot of people pulled a lot of money out of Binance in a short period of time.
The headline grabber within that number is Ethereum. ETH withdrawals climbed to a three-year high, meaning users haven't been yanking their Ether off Binance at this pace since roughly 2022.

Context matters a lot here, and one week of data doesn't tell the whole story.
What's clear is that Ethereum is at the center of this activity, and a three-year high in withdrawals is the kind of data point analysts and traders won't ignore. Whether this turns into a longer-term trend or settles back down is the question everyone in the space will be watching closely in the coming days.
