Whale Alert reported 200 million Tether (CRYPTO:USDT) moving from an unknown wallet to Binance on August 20.
The transaction was worth about US$200 million and was recorded on the Tron network.
Whale Alert did not identify the wallet owner or explain why the funds moved.
Large USDT transfers to exchanges can support trading, liquidity management or over-the-counter transactions.
However, the transfer does not confirm that the holder plans to buy or sell other cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) and other crypto prices have also responded differently to large stablecoin transfers in the past.
The source said Binance handles billions of dollars in daily trading, making the transfer relatively small against its overall liquidity.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $69,322.61.
