Binance Sees 4x Rise in Altcoin Deposits Ahead of Market Milestones
Despite ongoing market uncertainty ahead of key events like the US Clarity Act vote and the Fed's September interest rate decision, data from Binance shows a significant surge in altcoin transactions. According to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, altcoin deposit transactions on Binance have increased by approximately 3.8 times compared to July, reaching an average of 31,800 per week.
While this increase is most pronounced on Binance, other major exchanges like Coinbase and Bybit also saw rises in altcoin transactions, albeit less steep. The analyst notes that the strong rise in the cryptocurrency market as a whole, particularly indicated by the TOTAL3 indicator which tracks the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum, coincided with this increase.
The analyst warns that market uncertainty persists and advises closely monitoring the trend in altcoin inflows over the coming days. While the current rise in entry transactions may not indicate extraordinary selling pressure, it could be linked to selling pressure that needs to be considered.
