Galaxy Digital, one of the top three market makers for EIGEN, withdrew approximately 2.43 million EIGEN tokens from Binance just five hours ago, during a sharp market downturn.
The withdrawal, valued at $8.96 million, may have influenced a short-term price rebound of 3.5%, bringing EIGEN to its current value of $3.635.

The market movements highlight a phase of cautious accumulation among strategic traders, suggesting confidence in the token’s long-term potential. Meanwhile, the sizable withdrawal by Galaxy Digital adds intrigue, potentially signaling a shift in the broader trading dynamics for EIGEN.
As the market steadies, all eyes are on whether whales will reengage with the “big green columns” of buy orders, or if SDTs will continue to dominate the accumulation phase. For now, EIGEN’s rebound and its retention in key portfolios suggest the asset remains a focal point in the crypto ecosystem.
