Justin Sun’s team made a significant withdrawal of $21.66 million USDT from Binance today. This withdrawal follows the sale of 5.374 million EIGEN tokens received in an airdrop.
Notably, the sale was triggered by the listing of EigenLayer (EIGEN) on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) at 1 PM Yesterday Oct, 01,2024. Sun’s swift decision to sell came after the tokens were transferred from his six addresses to HTX, then immediately to Binance.
In addition, the announcement of EigenLayer’s listing, revealed by EmberCN, was a key event driving Sun’s rapid liquidation of the tokens. Large Ethereum (ETH) depositors, including Justin Sun, stood to benefit from the already concluded listing.
Furthermore, Sun’s six addresses received 5.374 million EIGEN tokens last night, valued at $21.49 million according to the over-the-counter (OTC) price of $4.03 per token. Sun wasted no time and, once the EIGEN transfers opened yesterday at noon, moved all tokens to HTX and then to Binance for an immediate sale.
Intriguingly, Sun’s quick sale of the EIGEN tokens allowed him to capture an average price of $4.03, the OTC market rate at the time. This transaction led to the complete liquidation of his EIGEN airdrop, resulting in a $21.66 million USDT withdrawal from Binance.
By selling immediately after the official listing on major CEXs, Sun ensured that he capitalized on the market excitement and locked in profits before potential volatility.

The listing of EigenLayer on multiple CEXs was expected to draw attention from investors. Sun’s decision to sell immediately after the listing suggests that the immediate post-listing market might be less favorable for long-term holding.
