According to data from Lookonchain, an on-chain intelligence provider, Justin Sun has withdrawn $60 million in cryptocurrencies from Binance. The withdrawal includes 17,433 Ethereum (ETH), worth $43 million, 68,999 AAVE worth $6.7 million, 656.4 billion Shiba Inu (SHIB) worth $6.3 million, 61,249 Chainlink (LINK) worth $957,000, 27.16 billion FLOKI worth $885,000, 1.7 million Decentraland (MANA) worth $826,000 and 100,100 BAND worth $168,000.

The large volume withdrawal comes at a time when the altcoin season ends in the ongoing cycle, Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have declined in the past week. The Alt season index reads 73 as of January 21.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin and Ethereum yielded 2.66% and 4% losses for holders respectively.

Typically, accumulation of altcoins by large wallet holders like Justin Sun could reduce the selling pressure on the assets and pave the way for prices to recover or rally in the short-term. Previously, Justin Sun has withdrawn SHIB from Binance in large volumes. The impact of the large volume withdrawals on altcoin prices remains to be seen.
