Crypto trading firm and market maker Cumberland moved millions in USDT to exchanges after receiving $2.8 billion from Tether’s treasury over three months.
Per Arkham Intelligence, Cumberland has deposited up to $120 million of Tether’s stablecoin USDT into crypto exchanges like Coinbase, OKX, and Kraken in the last 24 hours. Tether’s treasury sent at least $155 million to Cumberland in the same timeframe.
The reasons for the transactions are unknown; however, there are possibilities posed by speculators. First, Cumberland may be deploying USDT on exchanges to acquire cryptocurrencies for future profits, given the current hype in the market.
