Santiment: After the security incident at Binance, the supply of ETH on the trading platform decreased in two phases

The on-chain data analysis platform Santiment stated that since Binance was hacked, the supply of ETH on the trading platform has decreased in two phases, but only one of these phases coincides with the timing of the hacker's fund transfer. Data shows that as of the close on October 28, the ETH held by the trading platform accounted for 3.56% of the total ETH supply; by the close on November 2, this ratio had dropped to 3.20%. More than half of the decline occurred on October 29, the day Binance was hacked.

Data from TRM Labs shows that approximately 200,630 ETH was transferred out of Binance's hot wallet on October 29. However, the amount of ETH held by major trading platform addresses did not decrease on October 29; instead, it increased by about 39,000 ETH. Subsequently, from November 1 to November 2, as the platform reopened withdrawals, the holdings of related addresses decreased by about 313,000 ETH.

From October 28 to the close on November 2, the ETH held by major trading platform addresses decreased by approximately 297,000 ETH, a decline of about 5.4%. Santiment stated that currently, based solely on trading platform data, it is not possible to determine where these ETH ultimately went, nor can it be judged whether they were transferred to cold wallets or moved to other trading platforms.
