The charges started when the on-chain data analytics company Arkham Intelligence revealed significant transfers from Binance’s hot wallet in a report released on February 24.

A sell-off was allegedly stoked after the Binance-linked wallets moved at least 103,570 SOL (worth $16.3 million) and 25,000 ETH (worth $80 million) to Wintermute.

Binance refuted accusations that it was “dumping on everyone.” in a recent post about a trader’s concerns from its Customer Support account.

Several traders had misunderstood the transactions, Binance explained, stressing that the exchange only matches trades and has no control over user trading decisions, including market makers’. By cautioning against fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) tactics, the exchange advised users not to draw hasty conclusions from transaction screenshots.

Additionally, the platform urged users to grasp the workings of market makers, pointing out that companies such as Wintermute are essential to supplying liquidity and preserving market stability. Importantly, analysts refuted the rumors, stating that the transactions showed that Wintermute had removed SOL from Binance rather than Binance having sold the assets.
