Binance Bitcoin reserves fell by nearly 40,000 coins since September 20, 2026, marking the highest outflow level from the exchange since mid-2023. CoinTelegraph reported that large investors, or whales, have deposited stablecoin capital back into their exchange wallets, signaling a shift in liquidity strategies.

The movement suggests that BTC is being transitioned to cold storage or private custody while stablecoins are being positioned on the platform, potentially for future purchasing power. This trend in exchange flows highlights a shift in whale behavior, as high outflows typically reduce immediate sell pressure on the asset.
