In a period of relative stability in the cryptocurrency market, the native token of Compound, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, experienced a remarkable surge.
Compound (COMP) witnessed a substantial increase of over 88% in a week, soaring from $30 to $57.5. This surge was attributed to a notable spike in trading volume and capital outflows observed on the Binance platform.
A blockchain analytics firm called Lookonchain recently highlighted an interesting observation. They noted that a specific wallet made a deposit of $3.5 million worth of Tether (USDT) into the Binance exchange on June 26.
Subsequently, on Wednesday, the wallet withdrew 50,000 COMP tokens, equivalent to $2.26 million, followed by another withdrawal of 120,000 tokens, amounting to $5.5 million, on Thursday.
Based on the observed momentum of stablecoin flowing in and Compound token flowing out, it suggested that the mentioned wallet has been consistently accumulating the DeFi token.
