Fact Check
Both the Whale Alert transaction page and Whale Alert X post confirm the exact amount (205,332,458 USDC, ~$205.4M), the Ethereum transaction hash, and the sender/receiver labels (Coinbase Institutional to Coinbase). Since both endpoints are Coinbase-affiliated addresses, the description of an internal wallet movement rather than an open-market transaction is consistent with the evidence. Direct Etherscan verification was blocked by CAPTCHA, but the on-chain hash and labeled addresses are referenced by the primary tracking source.
