As the crypto market returns to a decent rally, Solana whales are pulling big moves. A large crypto transaction involving 661,113 SOL was spotted by blockchain tracking platform, Whale Alert, on June 3rd.
The massive transfer, which was executed in a single transaction, was sent from an unknown wallet to an unidentified destination, sparking concerns among the crypto community. Crypto holders are more curious about the reason behind such an unusual transaction.
According to the data provided by the tracker, the mysterious large Solana transaction was worth a massive $106,313,218 per SOL’s price at the time it happened.
Following the anonymous nature of this massive SOL transfer, there are speculations that it could be a sign of major volatility ahead as the market is just about recovering from the massive price dips witnessed in previous days.
While the reason behind this big move from the SOL whales has remained uncertain, investors are worried that more mystery moves like this could, which could be a sell-off attempt, might lead to a potential drop in the price of the token.
Moreover, commentators are more confident about the mystery transaction being a bearish move considering the recent slump in funding rates, which suggests that bulls might be exiting the market.
While long-term investors are still optimistic about a potential surge in the price of the token, investors are closely monitoring on-chain movements and taking crucial cautions as efforts to hedge against potential losses.
SOL price rallies 4%
The mystery SOL movement came at a time when the broad crypto market resumed a positive trajectory, with the prices of top cryptocurrencies projecting notable 24-hour gains.
SOL has also followed the trend, as data from CoinMarketCap shows that the leading altcoin has surged by an impressive 4.18% over the last day.
In a move that suggests that traders are actively trading the token, SOL has currently amassed $3,592,450,088.75 in trading volume, a notable increase of 22.84% over the last day. Usually, notable increases in the price of a token and its trading volume are indications of increased buying activities among investors.
As such, some of the commentators on the SOL whale movement are positive that the move might be an attempt to buy the token in large amounts.
