Retail Bitcoin holders have been sending more BTC to Binance over the past six months, while whale deposits have moved in the opposite direction, according to data cited by Techub from BeInCrypto. As of Oct. 25, the 30-day total of retail BTC deposits to Binance reached $10.75 billion, the highest level in six months. Over the same period, whale BTC deposits to the exchange fell 36% from late August to $3.8 billion. The data puts retail deposit volume at roughly 2.8 times the whale total, pointing to a clear split in behavior between smaller holders and large investors. The report said some market observers see retail traders treating the recent price rebound as a chance to exit, while whales have not shown signs of rushing to sell at current levels. It also noted an important limitation: deposits do not automatically mean coins have been sold, and the figures cover Binance only, so activity on other exchanges may look different.

Retail Bitcoin investors have steadily increased the amount of BTC sent to Binance over the past six months, according to data cited by Techub from BeInCrypto. As of Oct. 25, the 30-day total reached $10.75 billion, the highest level in six months.

Whale activity moved the other way. BTC deposits from large holders to Binance have fallen 36% since late August, dropping to $3.8 billion.

The data shows retail deposits are now about 2.8 times the size of whale deposits, highlighting a clear divergence in flows between the two groups.

Market analysis cited in the report said retail investors may be treating the recent price rebound as an exit window, while whales have yet to show signs of rushing to sell at current levels.

Still, deposits do not by themselves confirm actual selling, and the dataset only covers Binance. Activity on other exchanges may differ.
