Bitcoin price surge sees significant asset outflow on crypto exchanges

Major crypto exchanges recorded a net outflow on Oct. 24 as Bitcoin price briefly touched the $35,000 mark for the first time in a year. The movement of funds away from exchanges is considered a bullish sign as traders move their assets away from the centralized platforms in anticipation of a price surge.

According to data shared by crypto analytic firm Coinglass, Binance saw the biggest outflow with over $500 million moving off the exchange over the past 24 hours followed by crypto.com with $49.4 million in outflow followed by OKX with $31 million in outflow. Most other exchanges recorded below $20 million outflow.

Outflow from crypto platforms in recent times has led to “bank run” fears after the FTX collapse in November, however, the most recent outflow is more in line with trader sentiment than fear-induced withdrawals during the peak bear market. Glassnode data confirms that the Bitcoin outflow from exchanges over the past couple of days has risen in tune with the price surge of Bitcoin.

Rug pull feared as Safereum devs reportedly unlock and dump native token

The crypto community has been left fearing the worst after seeing huge sums of liquidity drained from the cryptocurrency project Safereum just hours after its team had finalized a massive $600,000 fundraising.

According to blockchain security firm CertiK and other analysts, the developers of Safereum — using the token deployment address “safereum.eth” — unlocked the supply of the token and dumped more than 600 Ether (ETH) worth of its holdings, causing the price of the Safereum (SAFEREUM) token to plunge more than 94%.

The so-called rug pull came after the team finalized a fund raise of approximately $600,000 for a derivative token called “Safepad.” These funds are understood to have constituted part of the total stolen sum, which totaled roughly 720 ETH — worth $1.27 million at current prices.

CertiK noted that the illegitimate funds had since been distributed through a series of wallets, further obfuscating the surveillance process.

The official Safereum account on X (formerly known as Twitter) has also been deleted.
