Binance Sees $627 Million in Net Ethereum Outflow Following CFTC Lawsuit
Binance saw about $627 million in net Ethereum-related withdrawals in the 24 hours through Tuesday morning, following the Monday lawsuit filed by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission against the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange for alleged violations of derivatives rules. Binance held about $64 billion worth of assets in publicly disclosed wallets as of Wednesday morning, according to Nansen data. For the seven days through Tuesday morning, the data showed Binance had $2.1 billion in net withdrawals of Ether and Ethereum-related assets. However, the withdrawals are significantly lower than what the exchange experienced in December when daily outflows at one stage surged to $3 billion following the collapse of the FTX exchange amid fraud allegations. Binance also saw $2.3 billion in stablecoin outflows on Feb. 13 after the New York Department of Financial Services ordered Paxos to stop issuing Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin. (forkast)

90% of Ethereum Now in Self-Custody As Supply on Exchanges Hits Lowest Level Since 2015
Ethereum's total supply has dropped by over 66,000 ETH since the start of 2023, making it deflationary, as the latest Shanghai upgrade progresses. Currently, just 10.31% of existing ETH is on exchanges, the lowest level since July 2015, according to on-chain analytics provider Santiment. Almost 90% of Ethereum is now off exchanges, as regulators struggle to classify ETH as a security or commodity. The amount of ETH being held in self-custody and away from exchanges is at its highest level since the token was introduced nearly eight years ago, indicating confidence from hodlers.

EU Money Laundering Law Won’t Prevent Crypto Payments, Lead Lawmaker Says
New anti-money laundering rules being discussed by the European Parliament won't block crypto payments, according to Damien Carême, a leading EU lawmaker. The proposed Anti-Money Laundering Regulation would impose a limit of €1,000 ($1,080) for payments made from self-hosted wallets where it isn't possible to identify the payer. Carême said the rules wouldn't prevent crypto transactions, but rather only apply when identification isn't possible. He also referred to money laundering provisions in the metaverse, and said he didn't want to see dirty money flow into other sectors due to banking controls. The vote will now enter negotiations with the EU's Council to frame a consistent version of the law.

A Look at the Fed's Recent Custodia Bank Denial and the Central Bank’s Push Back Against Narrow Banking
Over the past century, the number of American banks has significantly decreased, dropping from 30,000 banks in 1921 to 4,997 U.S. banks in 2021, according to data from the Federal Reserve. Recently, the U.S. central bank denied Custodia Bank of Wyoming, a financial institution that holds $1.08 for every dollar deposited by customers. Although there appears to be a need for such a bank after the collapse of three major U.S. banks, the Federal Reserve stated that board members have “heightened concerns” about institutions with plans to focus solely on a narrow sector.
