Bitcoin Floods Binance: CPI Crash Ahead?
Huge Bitcoin Inflows Hit Binance Before CPI Data – Crash Coming for BTC Price?
A massive wave of Bitcoin inflows has flooded Binance in the last 12 days, raising eyebrows as the U.S. CPI report drops today, April 10, 2025. CryptoQuant’s Maarten Regterschot revealed that 22,000 BTC, valued at roughly $1.82 billion, poured into the exchange, pushing its reserves to 590,874 BTC. Is a price crash looming?
Regterschot shared on X that this surge suggests investors are shifting funds due to economic uncertainty and the upcoming CPI release. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will unveil the data, with experts forecasting a slim 0.1% monthly rise and a 2.6% yearly increase, hinting at cooling inflation.
If these numbers hold, it could calm fears of tight Federal Reserve policies, lifting hopes for risk assets like Bitcoin. Currently at $89,636 up 7% in 24 hours, these inflows might not spell doom. Swyftx analyst Pav Hundal suggests Binance could just be prepping for trading spikes, not a sell-off.
Still, some see a twist. Investors might be bracing for a “sell the news” moment, betting the CPI’s impact is already baked into Bitcoin’s price, especially post-Trump tariff pause. Yet, commenter Alex Metric argues the inflows look big but pale against Binance’s 888.9 BTC net outflow over 30 days.
What’s really driving this? Are traders positioning for volatility or a quick profit? With the CPI report hours away, Bitcoin’s next move hangs in the balance.
