Bitcoin’s criticism of June is now accompanied by a sharp increase in whale deposits for Binance, according to CryptoQuant expert Darkfost, reviving the last example seen on the market in February’s anxiety event. The data shows that large owners are moving more BTC back into exchanges as the selloff deepens, which could add to the long-term pressure.
Darkfost images he said Bitcoin is down 14% in June, with the fastest decline in the past few days. The move has caused investors to become defensive, especially with large institutions moving large amounts of BTC. In the expert system, whales are defined as organizations operating above 100 BTC, or more than $ 6 million at current prices.
A noticeable change has taken place on Binance. According to the post, a whale it enters the exchanger it reached about 8,200 BTC on June 2, and then more than 6,400 BTC on June 4. Importantly, the trend has also changed every month: the average volume of fish on Binance has increased from about 1,200 BTC since mid-April to 2,800 BTC today, which means that the number has more than two weeks.
“On Binance, the volume of BTC from whales has skyrocketed,” wrote Darkfost, pointing to the peaks of June 2 and June 4. “For a long time, the volume of whales per month at Binance has gone from about 1,200 BTC since mid-April to more than 2,800 BTC today, doubling within a few weeks.”
Bitcoin Whale Deposits Show High Risk of Trading Sides
Inbound exchanges do not automatically verify that a currency has already been traded. However, great displacement in the retail space it is often viewed as a project for the purpose of selling, especially when it is done during a quick fix rather than during an accumulation or integration phase.

Darkfost launched the latest update in this regard. “These changes indicate that ongoing regulation is pushing some whales to move their BTC to the exchange, possibly with the intention of selling,” the analyst wrote. “This behavior appears to be more psychological risk management than a deliberate choice.”
That difference affects the definition of the market. Technical reconciliation often refers to pre-planning, portfolio rotation, or controlled exposure reduction. Driven by fear The exchange enters, in contrast, appears after the collapse of the prices has already forced the main owners to review the risks.

Bitcoin was trading near $62,533 at the time of writing, after an intraday low of $61,407 and a high of $64,380. This puts the market closer to the levels mentioned in Darkfost compared to February, when the whale activity on Binance reached the same level at the time when Bitcoin dropped to $60,000.
The February Comparison Raises an Important Question
The February book is very important for analysis. Darkfost reported that the last similar explosion of the Binance whale came when Bitcoin dropped below $60,000 earlier this year. In such cases, rising costs indicate depression after a major decline rather than an immediate warning of a full-blown move.
“To clarify, the last time when the volume of fish activity on Binance reached such levels was when Bitcoin was below $60,000 at the beginning of February,” the analyst wrote. “This is leading to an increase in sales in the short term. That said, fear-driven moves like this come later, like in February.”
At press time, BTC traded at $62,332.
