The reserve was transferred to Binance Deposit, which spurred rumours of a possible selloff of investment tokens. Moreover, the GMT price plunged 14% after the transaction, catalyzed by the bearish market trend.<\/p>\n<h2>Binance Labs Shifts Major GMT Reserve<\/h2>\n<p>Binance Labs recently 9.33 million GMT tokens, valued at $3.14 million, to Binance Deposit. The transaction, reported by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.spotonchain.com\/en\/profile?address=0x2e5232d3fa5e5b04467fe3f09dec4d17a330e6c2\">SpotOnChain<\/a>, has left around 9 million GMT tokens in the Binance Labs address (0x2e\u2026e6c2), sparking concerns of a potential selloff of investment tokens.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.80 --><\/p>\n<p>The significance of this transfer lies in Binance Labs\u2019 involvement as a strategic investor in STEPN, a gaming project governed by the GMT token, which operates on the Solana blockchain. With such a substantial movement of tokens, questions arise about <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/binance-founder-cz-shares-giggle-academy-update-what-about-sentence-hearing\/\">Binance<\/a> Labs\u2019 intentions and the potential impact on its investments.<\/p>\n<p>The GMT token serves as a fundamental component within the STEPN ecosystem, making any fluctuations in its ownership noteworthy within the crypto community. Moreover, such a major dump could lead to a further crash in the GMT price, expediting the effects of the bearish market.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.80 --><\/p>\n<p>Earlier, in April 2022, Binance Labs announced its strategic investment in STEPN. The investment was made owing to its features as an innovative web3 lifestyle application poised to revolutionize fitness and incentivize outdoor activity like never before. Binance Labs noted that STEPN presents a unique concept where users are rewarded for every step they take. Moreover, it leverages the power of blockchain technology and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/shiba-inu-community-reacts-binance-calls-everyone-nft-shib-reach-0-01\/\">non-fungible tokens (NFTs)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.80 --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/breaking-binance-exchange-names-first-board-of-directors\/\">Breaking: Binance Exchange Names First Board of Directors<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>GMT Price Crashes<\/h2>\n<p>The GMT price recovered slightly after crashing nearly 14% earlier.
