The sharp declines in the cryptocurrency market in recent days have also accelerated the movements of whales. The transfers, particularly noticeable in the Ethereum market, suggest that market volatility may increase even further.

According to market data, Trend Research has transferred a large amount of ETH as part of a loan repayment. In the last 15 hours, the company sent a total of 246,075 ETH (approximately $469.23 million) to Binance. This brings the total amount transferred to Binance recently to 434,663 ETH (approximately $896.1 million).

Meanwhile, another whale wallet that had been inactive for two years has become active again. This address withdrew 10,000 ETH (approximately $19.27 million) from Binance. The same whale had previously withdrawn a total of 43,562 ETH ($104.2 million) from the exchange between March 11, 2023, and April 19, 2024, using it for staking.

On the other hand, Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, made purchases worth $233.37 million with its SAFU fund during the downturn.

Investors who suffered losses due to market fluctuations are also noteworthy. One whale lost approximately $11.97 million by depositing 3,947 ETH ($7.53 million) that he had held for four months onto Binance. This investor initially withdrew 6,947 ETH from Binance for $29 million, but was forced to reinvest his assets at $17.04 million.

However, it appears that some long-dormant wallets are also viewing the dip as a buying opportunity. An address known as “0x1342” has become active again after a year of silence and withdrew 1,892 ETH ($3.75 million) from Binance approximately 30 minutes ago.

Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum

Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum

The post Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A crypto whale lost more than $6 million in staked Ethereum (stETH) and Aave-wrapped Bitcoin (aEthWBTC) after approving malicious signatures in a phishing scheme on Sept. 18, according to blockchain security firm Scam Sniffer. According to the firm, the attackers disguised their move as a routine wallet confirmation through “Permit” signatures, which tricked the victim into authorizing fund transfers without triggering obvious red flags. Yu Xian, founder of blockchain security company SlowMist, noted that the victim did not recognize the danger because the transaction required no gas fees. He wrote: “From the victim’s perspective, he just clicked a few times to confirm the wallet’s pop-up signature requests, didn’t spend a single penny of gas, and $6.28 million was gone.” How Permit exploits work Permit approvals were originally designed to simplify token transfers. Instead of submitting an on-chain approval and paying fees, a user can sign an off-chain message authorizing a spender. That efficiency, however, has created a new attack surface for malicious players. Once a user signs such a permit, attackers can combine two functions—Permit and TransferFrom—to drain assets directly. Because the authorization takes place off-chain, wallet dashboards show no unusual activity until the funds move. As a result, the assets are gone when the approval executes on-chain, and tokens are redirected to the attacker’s wallet. This loophole has made permit exploits increasingly attractive for malicious actors, who can siphon millions without needing complex hacks or high-cost gas wars. Phishing losses The latest theft highlights a wider trend of escalating phishing campaigns. Scam Sniffer reported that in August alone, attackers stole $12.17 million from more than 15,200 victims. That figure represented a 72% jump in losses compared with July. According to the firm, the most significant share of August’s damages came from three large accounts that accounted for nearly half…
