​According to the on-chain tracking platform, Onchain Lens, the Ethereum withdrawals from the binance occurred in two separate transactions. The first transfer involved only 2,000 ETH, which is worth around $3.87 million, and took place roughly one hour before it was reported on the morning of February 20.

​Secondly, on the same day, within about 22 minutes, a second and larger transaction moved approximately 5,000 ETH, worth about  $9.68 million, from the same Binance exchange to the newly created wallet 0xf4aC5a.
