This guy might be an inside trader.
He received 0.58 $ETH from #FixedFloat and spent 0.027 $ETH ($58) to buy 2.27T $PEPE within 10 minutes of $PEPE starting trading. pic.twitter.com/QflquoJu0l

The sale led Lookonchain to raise doubts about a potential insider involvement by PEPE Coin. This theory is based on an event that took place in April, before the notorious meme coin saga. During this time, the same address received 0.58 ETH from the FixedFloat crypto exchange. He also used 0.027 ETH, which is about $58, to purchase a staggering 2.27 trillion PEPE just 10 minutes after the coin’s initial transaction phase.
After the last sale of the alleged insider, PEPE fell another 2% in value. In some moments, the drop exceeded 5%, casting a dark shadow on the future prospects of the coin. In a broader context, PEPE Coin has witnessed a downward trajectory over the past 40 days. Meanwhile, PEPE peaked at 0.0000045 after the Binance listing news. However, since then the coin has lost 81% of its value.
Whales spill millions of USDT
Your whales have recently started dumping USDT. In addition, this development accounted for more than 73% of Curve 3pool. That’s why Tether concerns resurfaced. This increase in entries is extremely abnormal. Also, increased fear, uncertainty, and suspicion (FUD) or insider information has increased suspicions.
Tether concerns are arising again.
Whales have been dumping $USDT, resulting in USDT now comprising 50%+ of the Curve 3pool.
The sudden spike in inflows is very abnormal.
Either more FUD, or somebody knows something.
Will keep updating this thread (metrics below).👇

Tether’s USDT, the dominant stablecoin with an impressive $83 billion market cap, deviated slightly from its usual 1:1 ratio with the US dollar on the Curve DEX. This unexpected event provided fast DeFi traders with a unique opportunity to arbitrage. Responding immediately to the de-peg, market participants took advantage of this opportunity by significantly increasing their USDT borrowings from Aave. Borrowers chose to sell the depreciated USDT for DAI or USDC. Also, both kept their usual 1:1 peg with the US dollar.
An interesting case worth mentioning involves an Ethereum address identified as czsamsun.eth, which uses 17,400 ETH ($28 million) and 14,690 stETH ($24 million) as collateral to borrow 31.5 million USDT from Aave 2. They then exchanged the borrowed USDT for 31.47 million USDC at a rate of $0.997 on Curve.
czsamsun.eth borrowed 31.5 million USDT from Aave V2 by using 17,000 ETH and 14,000 stETH as collateral, then exchanged all the borrowed USDT into USDC on 1inch. Afterwards, the borrower deposited 10 million USDC and 21 million USDC to V2 and V3 respectively. Then, the borrower…

Is BNB giving an opportunity to buy from the bottom?
