Blockchain Address Accumulates Over $10 Million in LINK Tokens

On-chain data highlights continued accumulation of LINK by whale addresses, as another multimillion-dollar withdrawal from Binance further strengthens the trend.

Fact Check
The evidence strongly supports the statement. Several high-authority sources (Dune, Forbes via block explorers, and Zapper as described on Reddit) are identified as primary source tools capable of directly verifying the holdings of any specific blockchain address. The existence and accessibility of these tools mean the statement is directly verifiable from on-chain data. Furthermore, a secondary source (TradingView news) reports a specific large transaction of $5.57 million in LINK by a single 'whale' address. The existence of a single transaction of this magnitude makes it extremely probable that the total holdings of that address, or other similar addresses, exceed the $10 million threshold. This is further corroborated by other sources discussing the general trend of 'whale' and institutional accumulation. The business models of authoritative analytics firms like Elliptic and Arkham Intelligence are also predicated on tracking such large holders, indirectly confirming their existence. There is no conflicting evidence presented in the sources. The combination of direct verifiability through primary source tools and strong corroborating evidence from secondary sources makes the statement highly likely to be true.
