Below top 100 holders on TRON now hold 82.5% of supply, and that'll increase if Tether swaps more/burns what's in the treasury.
Without Cold 3 which is backing BSC-USD tokens on the BNB chain, Binance has LESS THAN $1B USDT LEFT in their wallets *in the top 100*.
On ETH, wallet #9 called Binance 74, *has more USDT in it than Binance has across ALL its hot wallets on TRON*.
Binance Cold 2, which used to hold the majority of Binance's USDT, is now *empty*.
This is while it was still at a high of $11B only a year and a half ago. Difference is previous dips in holdings was money getting shuffled and washed around.
Now it's left the chain entirely.
Arkham hasn't updated yet (and finding data that shows a chart of holdings per chain specifically is hard), but the next time they do, Binance will show ~$3.2B USDT on TRON and ~$25B USDT on ETH.
Even when the majority was TRON USDT, the relationship was never *this* lopsided.
I will remind everybody that *Binance has 50% of global market share*.
THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CUSTOMER FUNDS!
Binance has converted coins on their user's behalf before - they auto-converted USDC to BUSD for example. So there is precedent for them commingling funds.
But like FTX, they're too cavalier with their customer funds, and if you chainswap $20B of funds from one chain to another over time, then there HAS to be some customer funds involved.
Or worse, there aren't, and Binance is as much a ponzi/pyramid scheme as Tether is.
As for why they're doing this, i'll stick with my best guess: Justin Sun is a MASSIVE liability which'll blow up one of these days and the TRON blockchain is just a public ledger of crime.
The cartel is getting ready to clean house. Hence Justin investing in Trump as a hail mary

#Tether's done $1.4B in 2 days at 0%, so Saylor had best hurry up if he wants to keep pace with their rate of printing. $3.5B just this week alone. Especially since Tether's still at a high premium so they'll print way more. Infact they're printing hundreds of millions right now.
Jesus christ, calm the fuck down. #Tether's premium's hit $1.0023 on CMC, a full 10x above the minimum arb. Highest price since March atleast (though it's down a bit since i started making the thread).
This happening while Binance does another $2B "chainswap" from TRON to ETH. To be fair, it was done a while after the runup started. Printer's started up on TRON again, including a Bitfinex TRON to ETH chainswap.
Obviously i trust these swaps as far as i can throw them, though i've got no idea what they mean.
If i were to speculate - maybe the cartel is using the Trump pump as cover to ditch Justin Sun. Obviously, Binance is too important to let fail. And Justin is a ticking time bomb.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but the vast majority of USDT holders+USDT on TRON are fake, and i'm tired of pretending they're not. Over the past year, accounts holding USDT on TRON have gone from 26 million to 43.6 million in straight linear fashion. 🧵
How come the transfer accounts and counts stay the same at the same time that number of accounts have nearly doubled; with only a 50% increase at best in transfer amounts?
See the thing that's bothering me is this bar, this bar right here officer👇
Usually, the straight crypto scams have got a large concentration on a few accounts. With Tether, Binance has that concentration as the largest holder, but...
BREAKING: Justin Sun steals another ~$60M from #HTX customers with Tether's direct help, and #Binance money laundering to try and hide it. I just happen to catch it pretty much live so it was fast to track. Observe. 🧵
$60M (rounded) freshly redeemed Tethers, because ETH's quiet so it's not a chainswap.
It's notable because it came *directly* from Binance. Which is a giant proof that says "NOT ALL redemptions come via Bitfinex".
Keep that in mind when looking at all treasury ins in 3 months:
Anyways, as always, we follow the money. I've gotten Tronscan to work reliably by limiting dates across which hot wallets scan, and with this being short term, it's real easy.
Lets see if we can find any large transfers in around/near the redemption shall we?
Just remember this while crypto prices go crazy again this week. Understand it's all fake and i can create yet another chart where market cap is unrelated to price action to the upside. This time in the biggest pairs in crypto. It'll end in tears #Bitcoin #Tether #Ethereum #FDUSD
Luna/Terra had the EXACT same setup. If reducing Luna supply leads to increasing UST supply, then increasing Luna supply should reduce UST supply, because arbitrage works two ways! With UST it only worked one way; until all supply came to market at once.
FDUSD is showing the EXACT same behavior. Arbitrage can only work UNTIL $1. Because you buy FDUSD in the open market then send it to FDUSD to get $1. So why would you ever buy at $1.0005 to send it to FDUSD to get $1?!
Likewise, why would you buy in the open market above $1?!
It seems like it's Justin setting up either another shitcoin or he's back-filling infrastructure for stUSDT more than 2 months after first making the coin.
This contract was made at the same time as 2 others, 43 days ago, all have names.
