Web3 activity tracker STEPN is facing a 10% decline in token value amid reports of its strategic investor Binance Labs dumping over $3 million worth of GMT. 
<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/binance-labs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Binance Labs</a>, a crypto venture giant, has allegedly started selling its stake in <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/stepn/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">STEPN</a> after reports indicated the firm had moved over $3 million in GMT to <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/binance/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Binance</a>‘s deposit address. 
In an X post on Apr. 2, blockchain analytics firm Spot On Chain revealed that wallet 0x2e5 “likely” tied to Binance Labs deposited 9.33 million GMT to Binance on Apr. 1. The firm noted Binance Labs’ status as a strategic investor in STEPN and alleged that the firm had allocated over 37 million GMT tokens since July 2023, when the strategic investment was first announced. Subsequently, Binance Labs purportedly transferred more than 28 million GMT to Binance.
