In a flurry of activity causing volatility in the cryptocurrency market, several high-value transactions involving some prominent addresses and altcoin projects have taken place recently. Scopescan data tracker and The Date Nerd were quick to report these intriguing developments. Here are the details…
Vitalik transferred altcoins to Coinbase
Scopescan data tracking reported that Vitalik.eth, the address associated with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, deposited a significant 100 ETH to Coinbase. This move raised eyebrows within the crypto community as it marked an influx of approximately $181,300 into the popular exchange. The motivations behind this deposit remain a matter of speculation, as Buterin’s activities in the crypto space often require caution and scrutiny.

LINK deposit attracted attention
Additionally, The Date Nerd’s watchful eyes detected an important transaction involving a whale address starting with 0x425. This address deposited 387,700 LINK tokens to Coinbase, making a massive deposit worth approximately $4.3 million. Even more interesting is that this transaction could potentially yield a significant profit of $1.96 million, representing an impressive 84% gain. Address 0x425 made a strategic move by accumulating LINK tokens when its price dropped to $6.01, demonstrating a keen sense of market timing.
11 hours ago, Fresh Whale 0x425 deposited 387.7K $LINK ($4.3M) to #coinbase at $11.09, earning $1.96M (84%) profit.
Notably, this token amount was accumulated at the dip of $6.01.
Moreover, our @0xNerdBot also noticed that Smart Money started selling $LINK ($-91K in last 24H). pic.twitter.com/32ozNJYolZ

Mysterious whale moved APE to Binance
Scopescan monitoring revealed another high-value transaction that caught the attention of the crypto world. A mysterious whale address shifted 1 million APE tokens, equivalent to 1.33 million USD, to Binance. This move is notable because the address in question purchased and locked APE tokens four months ago when they were worth $2.2. However, market conditions have changed since then. Because if these tokens are sold immediately on Binance, it will result in a significant loss of 40%.
2 hours ago, a Whale withdrew 1M $APE ($1.33M) from #APE: Staking and deposited the entire amount to #Binance.
He staked these $APE 4 months ago when $APE was ~$2.2. Now $APE is trading ~$1.3.
