Key Takeaways
- • Binance experienced net outflows ranging from $660 million to $2.36 billion over various measurement periods in recent weeks, with a 24-hour outflow of $660 million and cumulative outflows of $1.82 billion recorded from June 6 onward, according to blockchain data provider Nansen.
- • Weekly outflows escalated to $2.36 billion in the most recent seven-day period, reflecting sustained deposit withdrawals that exceed new capital inflows to the exchange.
- • Regulatory pressures and license-related announcements correlated with outflow spikes, including a notable $1.96 billion daily outflow on the day Binance announced withdrawal of its MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) license application in Greece.
- • Ethereum blockchain token withdrawals were particularly significant, with Binance recording $1.34 billion in net outflows of crypto tokens on the Ethereum network, alongside comparable outflows from its U.S. affiliate Binance.US.

Summary
Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is experiencing significant and sustained capital outflows across multiple timeframes and measurement periods. According to blockchain analytics firm Nansen, the exchange recorded a 24-hour net outflow of $660 million, with cumulative outflows of $1.82 billion documented from June 6 through the reporting date. Most critically, weekly outflows have accelerated to $2.36 billion over the past seven days, indicating intensifying withdrawal pressure.
The outflow pattern reflects a material imbalance between deposits and withdrawals. Data shows Binance customers withdrew approximately $3 billion in assets while depositing only $1.57 billion, producing a net negative position of $1.43 billion. Ethereum blockchain-based token outflows were particularly pronounced, with $1.34 billion flowing out through ERC-20 networks, while Binance's U.S.-regulated affiliate also registered significant concurrent outflows.
Regulatory developments appear to have triggered elevated outflow activity. On the day Binance announced its withdrawal of the MiCA license application in Greece, the exchange recorded $1.96 billion in daily net outflows—among its highest single-day withdrawal volumes. Additionally, single-day outflows of $800 million and $1.23 billion were documented in recent weeks, ranking among Binance's largest historical outflow events.
The outflows occurred within a broader cryptocurrency market downturn. Spot Bitcoin ETF products experienced $4.5 billion in net redemptions during the same period, while Bitcoin prices fell 20.48% and Ethereum ETFs saw $528.99 million in outflows. Stablecoin withdrawals were also notable, with $594 million in net USDT outflows recorded in a single 24-hour period, suggesting liquidity preference shifts across the ecosystem rather than isolated exchange-specific factors.
