Jump Trading withdraws USDC from Binance to Coinbase

After liquidating Ethereum yesterday, Jump Trading continues with an unusual move by transferring USDC from Binance to Coinbase.

Jump Trading Withdraws Usdc From Binance To Coinbase

Jump Trading has just made large cryptocurrency transactions involving a significant amount of USDC stablecoin and is expected to withdraw $440 million, according to on-chain analyst Lookonchain.

The company withdrew approximately $606 million USDC from Binance. After withdrawing from Binance, Jump Trading deposited $440 million USDC onto the Coinbase exchange.

According to a post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Lookonchain indicated that the deposit on Coinbase is then expected to be withdrawn, although the reason behind this strategy remains speculative.

The asset transfer from Binance to Coinbase could be seen as Jump Trading aiming to minimize legal risks from the U.S. or to take advantage of the trading conditions and better liquidity available on the Coinbase exchange.

USDC is a stablecoin designed to maintain a 1:1 value pegged to the U.S. dollar.
