Fact Check
Both the Whale Alert transaction page and the @whale_alert X post independently confirm the transfer of 135,572,887 USDC (~$135.7M) from an unknown wallet to Aave on Ethereum, dated June 25, 2026, matching the claim's token amount and value. The transaction hash, sender, and receiver addresses are documented. Only the Etherscan page was inaccessible due to CAPTCHA, which does not undermine the corroborating Whale Alert sources.
