Despite the transfer being an internal administrative action, it attracted significant attention to PEPE. Traditionally, such movements toward exchanges are viewed negatively by market participants, often interpreted as a bearish signal.
However, in this case, the transfer was between Binance's own wallets, not from an external whale investor.
