LINK, the native cryptocurrency of the decentralized blockchain oracle network, Chainlink, has seen a surge in whale activity, with over $1 billion reported in large transaction volume in the last 24 hours. This massive movement has caught the attention of the crypto community.
According to IntoTheBlock data, Chainlink's large transaction volume increased by 1700.73% in the past day, totaling $1.01 billion, or 73.41 million LINK in cryptocurrency terms. This is the largest large transaction volume recorded yearly, except for Sept. 20, 2024, when large transaction volumes reached 65.02 million LINK.
LINK has seen notable activity in the last 24 hours.

Among them, 14.875 million LINK (about $205 million) were transferred directly to Binance, and the remaining 4.125 million LINK (nearly $57.04 million) were sent to a multisig address.

In an unexpected move, the whale sold 1.34 million LINK on-chain for $18.36 million at $13.7, a loss of $512,000 or 2.7%.
At the same time, the whale closed its LINK longs on GMX for a $195,000 profit and flipped its LINK longs on Hyperliquid into BTC shorts worth 40x leverage, but now it is sitting on an unrealized $290,000 profit. This move coincides with Chainlink’s big unlock hitting the market.
