One of the most notable large transactions in the crypto market took place today on the Solana (SOL) network. A staking account, identified as having been funded by Binance nearly three years ago, transferred a total of 2.66 million SOL (approximately $440.77 million) to a Binance cold wallet just 12 minutes ago.
Move From a Binance-Funded Account After Three Years of Silence
According to Arkham, one of the blockchain monitoring tools, this wallet had not shown any significant activity over the past three years. This made the large transfer stand out in the market. In particular, the fact that Binance appears as the original funder of the wallet raised questions about the source of the transaction.
Following the transfer, the related staking account saw a significant decrease in assets, while the receiving Binance cold wallet substantially increased its asset holdings.
Why Is This Transfer Important?
Such large-scale movements often provide critical signals for investors tracking whale activity and potential internal exchange restructuring. It is still unknown whether this transfer was part of an internal exchange operation or served another purpose. These types of massive transactions can offer clues about market liquidity, exchange reserves, and potential staking strategies.
Whether this development will place pressure on the Solana price will become clearer in the coming hours. In particular, major unstaking events or re-staking moves can impact prices in the short term.
