- •The address still holds more than 21,000 ETH that has not been moved.
- •The withdrawal shifted the funds into self-custody, where control depends on whoever possesses the wallet's private keys.
- •Any future transfers from the labeled address will be publicly traceable on the Ethereum blockchain.
More than 21,000 ETH never left their place. On Monday, November 2, 2026, a wallet that blockchain analytics firm Arkham tags 'Wanyewest69' — and that online observers have linked to rapper Kanye West — withdrew 2,074 Ethereum (ETH), worth about $4.7 million, from Binance, within hours of the exchange…
Arkham's platform assigns public labels to on-chain addresses; those tags reflect the firm's analytical attribution rather than a confirmed statement of ownership, which is why the connection to the rapper is framed here as one drawn by online observers. The label nonetheless places the address on the radar of on-chain watchers, since any further transfers from it will be publicly visible on the Ethereum blockchain.
The transaction mechanics themselves are standard: a withdrawal moves funds off an exchange and into self-custody, where control rests with whoever holds the wallet's private keys. Transfers by labeled, high-profile addresses tend to draw scrutiny because on-chain records make each subsequent step publicly traceable.
Ethereum is the native asset of the Ethereum blockchain, and Binance ranks among the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges.
