Etherscan records show Binance's tracked cold wallet held 0 ETH as of 2026-10-04, down from 25,142 ETH recorded one day prior.[^2]

Over the same 24 hour window, Binance's public hot wallet balance rose to 77,830 ETH. That is up from 49,769 ETH on 2026-10-03.[^1]

By this paper's arithmetic, 28,061 net ETH entered the hot wallet over the period. The entire balance previously held in the monitored cold wallet was moved.

No net outflow from the two tracked wallets combined appears in this set of readings.
