Whale Bitcoin Inflow Ratio on Binance Platform Surges in the Past Two Weeks, Potentially Linked to 'BTC OG Insider Whale' Activity

2026.02.17 15:14:43

On February 17, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost noted that data shows Binance’s whale Bitcoin inflow ratio surged from 0.4 on February 2 to 0.62 on the 15th—reflecting a larger share of Bitcoin deposits from big holders and potentially ramping up market selling pressure. Darkfost’s analysis pointed out some of the inflows are linked to activity from the “BTC OG Insider Whale.” On-chain data shows this whale has deposited roughly 10,000 BTC into Binance over the past two weeks. Darkfost added this isn’t an isolated trend: multiple whales have sent significant Bitcoin transactions to the exchange, not just because Binance has ample liquidity, but also because uncertain market conditions are pushing investors of all kinds to reevaluate their risk exposure and strategies.

Iran: Will Wear Down the U.S. Through a Protracted War

In an interview broadcast on U.S. public television PBS on August 11 local time, Mohammad Reza Naghdi, advisor to the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), stated that the two main goals of the U.S. war against Iran—overthrowing Iran’s leadership and splitting the country—have “already failed,” adding that “victory is on Iran’s side.” Naghdi pointed out that the U.S. has displayed confusion and uncertainty in this conflict, saying, “The U.S. keeps announcing new goals every few days, turning this into a war without strategy.” He also emphasized that Iran will continue to achieve victories. Over more than five months of confrontation with the U.S., Iran has not only accumulated experience but also found that U.S. military forces are weaker than expected. Iran must achieve deterrence to ensure enemies never dare attack it again, and one way to do this is to “prolong the war” to wear down the U.S., so that anyone considering attacking Iran in the future “will first weigh the cost they will have to pay.” (Source: CCTV International News)
