cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that 221M USDC flowed into Coinbase from an unknown wallet.

The event underscores the scale of capital movement into the platform.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for USDC, measured when this story was written up on 1 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
USDC is trading at $1.00 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 45.0%, which is lower than the 49.4% seen over the past 4 hours and the 48.8% average over 24 hours. This narrowing of the buy ratio suggests that immediate buying pressure is fading compared to the broader daily trend. The 1-hour volume delta is -$12,459,226, indicating that more money is leaving the market than entering it in the short term. Over 24 hours, the volume delta stands at -$78,239,885, showing a consistent net outflow of capital. The CVD at the 24-hour close is -$83,693,475, confirming that sellers have dominated the recent trading activity.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.2% sits at the 73rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.4% - stronger buying than most days.
Twenty-four hours later
What USDC did over the 22 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for USDC, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 48.6%, which is slightly higher than today's 24-hour average of 48.8% but indicates a generally balanced market. Today's volume is 1.19x the weekly average, making this an unusually active day for USDC spot trading. Despite the higher volume, the 8-day volume delta total is -$519,281,307, showing that net selling has been the dominant trend throughout the week. There were zero days of net buying in the last seven days, contrasting with the 12 hours of net buying recorded in the last 24 hours. The price has remained stable at +0.0% over the eight-day period, reflecting the balance between the increased volume and the persistent outflows.
