A major Chinese investor known as Garrett Jin has transferred 11,318 BTC (approximately $760 million) to the Binance exchange. This is one of the largest single Bitcoin transfers to a centralized exchange in recent months.
Key question: Is this preparation for a sell-off, or an OTC deal? Large volume transfers to exchanges are often interpreted as sell signals, but could also be related to over-the-counter trading or portfolio restructuring.
