Chun Wang, co-founder of the Chinese Bitcoin mining pool F2Pool — one of the oldest and largest mining pools in the Bitcoin ecosystem — has reportedly executed another large transfer to Binance, according to on-chain data. The move comes on the heels of substantial dip purchases he made in June.
On-chain records indicate that Wang transferred approximately 6,009 ETH (worth roughly $11.56 million) and 62.31 WBTC (worth approximately $4.09 million) to Binance, totaling about $15.6 million. Transfers of this magnitude to centralized exchange hot wallets are routinely tracked by on-chain analysts as a signal of potential sell-side activity, since assets moved to exchanges are typically positioned for trading or conversion.
The transactions were traced to several sources: WBTC withdrawals via Spark Fi, ETH unstaking through Lido Finance, and a WETH-WBTC swap executed via CoWSwap. Further on-chain flow analysis shows that 50 WBTC, 12,312 WBTC, and 6,009 ETH were moved from addresses linked to Wang into the Binance hot wallet.
This latest activity follows Wang's significant accumulation in June, when he purchased approximately 70,600 ETH and 966 WBTC. The ETH acquisitions were valued at approximately $117 million, while the WBTC holdings were worth about $60.29 million.
As the cryptocurrency market rebounded in July, Wang began moving portions of his holdings to Binance. According to prior on-chain data, he recently transferred 36,600 ETH and 160 WBTC to the exchange, with estimated realized profits of approximately $3.4 million from those transactions.
