The cryptocurrency exchange platform Binance has seen a net outflow of over 13,800 Bitcoins, setting a record for the largest single-day net outflow since 2023. Based on the price at that time, the related assets are valued at approximately 1.15 billion dollars. Binance's Bitcoin reserves decreased from about 705,000 to approximately 685,000 within four days, a reduction of about 20,000, valued at around 1.66 billion dollars.On-chain analyst Darkfrost stated that the outflow of Bitcoins from Binance is part of a broader accumulation trend, with some investors choosing to self-custody their Bitcoins. The related outflows may also be associated with institutional custody, internal wallet management, and other operational arrangements, and should not be viewed solely as evidence of accumulation behavior. After a recent rise, Bitcoin has retraced and is currently maintaining a range between 83,000 and 84,000 dollars, staying above 83,000 dollars. Market participants are paying attention to whether this price level can continue to receive support, as well as whether the outflow of Bitcoins from Binance and the decline in exchange reserves will continue.

In a speech on Monday, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey criticized Reform Party leader Nigel Farage's stance on Bitcoin, calling him "Liz Truss with a Bitcoin account." Healey stated that Farage wants the public to believe he is a representative of the common people, but on economic issues, he is simply "Liz Truss with a Bitcoin account." Liz Truss is the UK's shortest-serving Prime Minister, widely criticized for her 2022 mini-budget driven by debt. Healey also mentioned that his party, the Labour Party, will help the UK lead through fiscal discipline, good jobs, and a strong industry.Farage has long been a political supporter of cryptocurrency, primarily viewing Bitcoin as a matter of personal freedom since 2020, and opposing state control over currency. He has stated that he was denied banking services by the UK private bank Coutts, which led him to take a greater interest in digital assets. Last year, at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, he claimed that if elected Prime Minister, he would cut crypto capital gains tax and force the Bank of England to establish Bitcoin reserves.Farage has faced criticism this year for accepting donations from cryptocurrency entrepreneurs, including tech entrepreneur and Tether investor Christopher Harborne, as well as Ben Delo, one of the founders of the now-closed crypto exchange BitMEX. The Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation into reports of Reform violating overseas donation rules, with Reform denying any wrongdoing and stating that they will cooperate.
