A whale has sold 123,500 LINK for $3.13M USDC at an average price of $25.36. The funds were then deployed into yield strategies across Compound and Aave via TrustWallet, signaling a shift from direct token exposure to DeFi lending returns.
Despite the sale, the whale still retains a substantial position of 425,000 $LINK, valued at around $10.8M, keeping significant skin in the game. This move reflects a strategic balance between profit-taking and continued long-term exposure to Chainlink.
Large-scale reallocations like this often spark speculation on whether whales are anticipating short-term volatility or simply diversifying risk through yield-bearing opportunities.
💬 What’s your take — is this whale smartly locking in yield while holding a strong $LINK stack, or signaling caution on near-term price action?
