According to the latest on-chain data, a crypto company has redeemed and transferred a significant amount of Ether tokens from the staking platform Lido to the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Could this hold a bearish consequence for the Ethereum price? Is ETH Price Preparing For Further Correction? According to data from Arkham Intelligence, digital asset management firm Metalpha redeemed 10,000 ETH (worth about $26 million) from the liquid staking platform Lido on Saturday, August 17. Following the withdrawal to the Metalpha-labeled Gnosis Safe Proxy wallet, the Ether tokens were then sent to Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

Moreover, these fund movements could provide an insight into the sentiment amongst institutional and large investors at the moment. As shown on Arkham’s dashboard, the ETH tokens were transferred from a Gnosis Safe Proxy wallet to a wallet on the Binance exchange. Gnosis Safe Proxy wallets are known for their multi-signature feature, which requires authorization from multiple parties to execute a transaction. While the multi-sig nature of the sender wallet is quite interesting, the move of assets to a custodial wallet on a centralized exchange is an even bigger narrative. Typically, when investors transfer their digital assets to an exchange, it implies that they want to utilize one of these centralized platform’s services, which includes selling. Consequently, the latest flow of Ether tokens to the Binance platform could carry bearish consequences for the Ethereum price, if Metalpha does intend to sell with this move. With the rationale behind this move unknown, it remains to be seen whether the altcoin will feel downward pressure off the back of the transaction. Ethereum Price At A Glance As of this writing, the ETH token has yet to witness any significant price movement in the last few hours. Instead, the Ethereum price has continued to consolidate around the $2,600 level, with a mere 0.5% increase in the past day. Nevertheless, the second-largest cryptocurrency is in a much better position than it was less than two weeks ago. The Ethereum price has shown good signs of recovery after falling to a multi-month low of $2,200 in early August.  Related Reading: Cardano Sees Massive 150% Volume Surge, Yet ADA Price Stalls With 4% Decline On the broader timeframe, though, the price of ETH seems to have lost the momentum it displayed earlier in 2024.
