Wintermute Deposits 61,847 ETH Worth $160.3M to Binance and Coinbase

Large market-maker inflows to centralized exchanges are typically read as inventory positioning rather than directional conviction, since Wintermute provides liquidity across venues and routinely moves assets to meet order flow. The scale here is notable mainly because it lands on two of the deepest order books simultaneously, which can dampen spreads but also adds short-term sell-side depth if the coins are used to fill client orders. Whether the ETH stays on-exchange or is withdrawn again is the open question worth tracking.
