Chainlink Non-Circulating Supply Wallets Move 2.5 Million LINK to Binance
Chainlink unlocked 19 million LINK this quarter, with most of the tokens sent to Binance and the remainder transferred to a multisig address, indicating a larger-scale supply movement than previously noted.

Fact Check
The strongest usable evidence in this run is the fetched PANews article, "Chainlink完成季度例行解锁，共1900万枚LINK转出 | PANews," which directly states that 19 million LINK were moved from three non-circulating supply wallets, with 14.375 million sent to Binance and 4.625 million sent to a multisig address. That supports the user's broader statement that Chainlink unlocked 19 million LINK this quarter and that most went to Binance while the rest went to a multisig. The Odaily link was also traced to an upstream X post, which is consistent with the event being discussed from on-chain monitoring sources. However, I could not directly validate the cited X posts because all fetch attempts failed, and search-based corroboration did not yield additional usable evidence in this run. Also, the specific headline claim of "2.5 Million LINK to Binance" conflicts with the more detailed figures in "Chainlink完成季度例行解锁，共1900万枚LINK转出 | PANews," which says 14.375 million LINK went to Binance. So the broader content claim is likely true, but that particular 2.5 million figure is not supported by the best available evidence here.
