Is Binance Manipulating the Market? $20M Transfers to Wintermute Spark Debate

Is Binance Manipulating the Market? $20M Transfers to Wintermute Spark Debate

The post Is Binance Manipulating the Market? $20M Transfers to Wintermute Spark Debate appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is facing criticism for transferring approximately $20 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) to Wintermute, a major market maker. These controversial transfers have ignited fears of market manipulation and unfair practices, leaving the community eager for answers. Binance’s $20 Million Transfer Raises Questions According to the on-chain analytics platform Arkham, Binance transferred 70.9 BTC (valued at $7.2 million) and 1,701 ETH (worth $5.38 million) to Wintermute on Monday. The next day, the exchange moved 20,973 SOL (valued at $4.9 million) along with 1,000 ETH (worth $3.17 million). These transactions have been flagged as potential attempts to control market prices by creating artificial liquidity. Shortly after the Wintermute transfers, Whale Alert noticed another big transaction. An unknown wallet sent 18,107 ETH, worth $57.8 million, to Binance. This added to the speculation about whale strategies and their effect on the market. 18,107 #ETH (57,882,116 USD) transferred from unknown wallet to #Binance https://t.co/mHIIPyU431 — Whale Alert (@whale_alert) January 28, 2025 Binance Mainupulating The Market Meanwhile, prominent crypto commentator Marty Party has accused Binance of using these transactions to manipulate the market. He claimed that such moves create artificial trading patterns designed to mislead traders and liquidate leveraged positions. Marty Party urged the crypto community to resist panic selling and instead prioritize self-custody of their assets. Critics Call Out Centralized Practices Another analyst, Cryptoblock192.eth , criticized Wintermute’s operations, accusing the firm of exploiting order books and engaging in practices that contradict the principles of decentralization. The analyst also highlighted similarities between these activities and controversies involving other industry players, such as FTX and its trading arm Alameda Research. “These market-making practices harm retail traders by manipulating prices and exploiting liquidity gaps,” the analyst stated, calling for greater transparency in such operations. Despite mounting criticism, neither Binance nor Wintermute has issued a public statement addressing these allegations. The silence from both parties continues to fuel concerns about transparency and fairness in the crypto ecosystem.
