According to Lookonchain monitoring, the address starting with 0xcA0, labeled as "BTC OG insider whale" (agent Garrett Jin), used the same Binance deposit address as Trend Research under Yi Li Hua.On-chain data shows that the Trend Research address transferred 7,989,000 USDT to the address starting with 0xcdF one day ago, which was then moved to the Binance hot wallet address starting with 0x28C.The "BTC OG insider whale" transferred 10,000 ETH to the address starting with 0xcdF two hours ago, which was subsequently moved to the Binance hot wallet address starting with 0x28C.Lookonchain did not provide further interpretation. However, Binance deposit addresses are typically user-specific (especially for large and frequently used hot deposit addresses), so it cannot completely rule out "coincidence" or "address reuse" (for example, through a common funding source/OTC channel). Nonetheless, under normal circumstances, the probability of two independent large holders/institutions using exactly the same deposit address is extremely low.

The summary is that profits come from bull markets, and pullbacks come from bear markets. The road of life is still long, and at every stage, we will encounter setbacks and often meet unworthy people. Just like many years ago, when someone wrote a smear article and pinned an unfounded label on me (may he forever remain in darkness), I also experienced numerous investment failures in various projects. However, the grievances have helped me grow, and maturity comes from the process of growth. I hope everyone maintains confidence and hope, and together we can continue to improve."
