Wallets associated with Monetalis sold 3.72 million UNI worth about $13 million to Cumberland and bought 171,543 HYPE valued at roughly $9.56 million, in a transaction flagged by on-chain analytics platform The Data Nerd. The flow points to a rotation out of Uniswap's governance token and into Hyperliquid's native token, adding to signs of interest in newer DeFi protocols. Earlier monitoring by EmberCN and Lookonchain had said the UNI moved through Cumberland to exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, OKX and Bybit, coinciding with a 10% drop in UNI to $3.22 from $3.59, while the newer account frames Cumberland as the direct counterparty in what may have been an OTC-style block trade that reduced open-market impact. The exact rationale for the repositioning was not disclosed.
