Whale activity on $LINK is intensifying
“Two daily peaks stand out, with over 8,000 $LINK withdrawn from Binance among the 10 largest transactions of the day.” – By @Darkfost_Coc pic.twitter.com/R0C4kI82ZV

The Top 10 outflow transactions reveal a pattern. The two biggest transactions were seen with 8,000 $LINK tokens moved out of Binance. This transaction volume placed it among the day’s Top 10.
Large withdrawals may suggest funds being moved to cold storage, as holders do not wish to sell and are willing to hold for a longer period.
The monthly average of outflows of the Top 10 transactions is also increasing, rising from around 2,000 $LINK per day to nearly 2,600 $LINK since mid-February, reflecting a gradual increase in the activity of the largest outgoing transactions.
These flows might be a signal to watch in the coming weeks, as a shift could provide useful insights.
