Blockchain analytics firm Nansen reported that following a settlement for civil and criminal charges against Binance and CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, outflows from the crypto exchange didn’t result in a “mass exodus of funds.”
In a Nov. 22 X (formerly Twitter) post, Nansen said that roughly 24 hours after the United States Department of Justice announced a $4.3 billion settlement with Binance, the exchange had experienced a $956 million net outflow on Ethereum. However, Binance’s total holdings increased to more than $65 billion.
“Withdrawals are continuing, and we’re not seeing a mass exodus of funds,” said Nansen. “In the past, Binance has processed higher volumes of outflow and negative netflow: Jun 2023 after the SEC sued Binance, December 2022 after insolvency rumors, and the immediate aftermath of FTX.”
