Trump-Linked Wallet Moves $32.8M in TRUMP Coin to Binance – Is a Sell-Off Coming?
A cryptocurrency wallet tied to former President Donald Trump just made headlines—shifting a staggering $32.8 million worth of TRUMP coin to Binance. The move sparks speculation: Is this a strategic exit or just another day in meme-coin volatility?
Why Binance? The world's largest crypto exchange offers liquidity—and a quick off-ramp for cashing out. Meme coins like TRUMP thrive on hype, but when insiders move stacks this big, traders brace for turbulence.
Timing is everything. With 2024 election buzz simmering, Trump-branded tokens ride political sentiment like a rollercoaster. This transfer could signal profit-taking—or just another chapter in crypto's theater of the absurd.
Finance purists scoff: 'Another day, another meme coin cashing in on cults of personality.' Meanwhile, degens FOMO into the next pump. Stay tuned—this wallet’s next move might just move markets.
Binance inflows fuel speculation over imminent sell-off
The most recent transfer came from a wallet identified as “Official Trump Meme? Squads Vault.” First, it sends the tokens through another intermediary wallet, and then the same amount is sent into Binance’s hot wallet.
A smaller transfer of 189 TRUMP, worth just $1,760, also occurred just before the larger deposit.
There’s been no confirmed sale, although large deposits to centralized exchanges are often seen as a precursor to a selloff. This has prompted concerns among some traders that there could be downward price pressure on the token.
The politically sensitive TRUMP coin has surged in value in recent months thanks to increased enthusiasm for memes and election-year hype. Yet should liquidation take place, such substantial inflows to exchanges have the potential to change the market.
The last significant TRUMP transaction occurred on June 4, in which more than $46.9 million TRUMP was transferred to several exchanges simultaneously. The type and magnitude of recent transfers indicate one potential approach to reduce risk or monetize peak prices.
To make it more mysterious, another whale had moved TRUMP coins of $143 million to an unknown wallet just a day before the latest deposit on Binance.
Surges in inflows to exchanges such as Binance are typically a precursor to price turbulence. Investors are waiting to see whether this transfer is the beginning of a larger sell-off or simply a strategic reorganization of assets in the days ahead.
Investors are now waiting and watching. Substantial inflows to exchanges like Binance are typically associated with price volatility. After this latest transfer, it is unclear whether this WOULD be the beginning of a wider sell-off, or was simply a reinvestment strategy that would play out over the next few days.
Eric Trump calms crypto rift as family-backed firm commits to major TRUMP coin purchase
Just recently, Eric Trump suggested that internal tensions within Donald Trump’s growing crypto empire have begun to ease. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) Friday, he announced that the Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial plans to purchase a “substantial” amount of the meme coin at the center of the recent dispute.
According to Eric, the group behind the Trump-themed token has decided not to move forward with a controversial digital wallet offering that had sparked a rift with World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture partially owned by the Trump family.
The statement came just a day after Bloomberg reported that World Liberty Financial had issued a cease-and-desist letter to Fight Fight Fight, the organization behind the TRUMP memecoin. The letter challenged their development of the “$TRUMP Wallet,” which World Liberty viewed as a conflict, especially as it was preparing to launch its own competing wallet.
The cease-and-desist has not been made public. However, a source familiar with the matter confirmed its existence, highlighting the internal battle for control and branding rights within Trump’s increasingly lucrative crypto ecosystem.
