Fact Check
The Whale Alert Solana transaction record and the corresponding @whale_alert X post both confirm exactly 200,000,000 USDT (~$199.87M) moved from Bitfinex to Tether Treasury on June 24, 2026. The dollar figure matches the claim's $199,872,000. The other supplied links describe a distinct Ethereum transfer in the reverse direction (Tether Treasury to Bitfinex), which is a separate event and does not contradict the claim as worded. Both directions are well-documented on-chain via Whale Alert.
