Solana whale offloads additional $2.8 million in latest move, totaling $86 million in selloff

written by August 14, 2024

A prominent Solana whale has intensified their massive selloff, adding a recent $2.8 million transaction to the staggering $86 million in SOL tokens sold since January.

This ongoing divestment has drawn significant market attention as investors scrutinize the whale’s strategy amid notable developments within the Solana ecosystem.

Whale intensifies selloff: $2.8 million in SOL tokens sold

The whale’s selloff began on January 15, with the latest move involving the sale of 20,000 SOL tokens worth $2.8 million.

This transaction raises the total amount sold to approximately $86 million, continuing a trend of weekly selloffs that have marked the year.

On-chain analytics firm LookOnChain reports that since the selloff commenced, around 594,000 SOL tokens have been transferred to major exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, and OKX.

With SOL’s current price hovering around $145.07, these transactions may reflect a strategic approach, possibly aimed at dollar-cost averaging.

US and Brazilian Solana ETFs

The whale’s substantial selloff coincides with increasing interest in the Solana ecosystem, particularly regarding the potential launch of Solana-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

In the United States, asset managers VanEck and 21Shares have applied for a spot Solana ETF, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) expected to decide by March 2025.

The optimism surrounding Solana ETFs follows the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, though market experts remain cautiously optimistic.

In Brazil, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) recently approved a Solana ETF on August 7, a landmark development for the asset.

The Brazilian ETF is still awaiting further approval from the Brazilian stock exchange, B3. If successful, it would become one of the first Solana-based exchange-traded products (ETPs) globally, offering investors a new avenue for exposure to Solana.

Despite these promising developments, the whale’s continued selloff indicates a potential level of uncertainty or profit-taking that could influence Solana’s short-term price movements.

Ethereum whales display mixed signals

While Solana garners attention, Ethereum whales are displaying mixed signals with their trading strategies. Some Ethereum whales are reducing their holdings, while others are increasing their positions, reflecting divergent views on the asset’s future trajectory.

One Ethereum whale, associated with the asset’s initial coin offering (ICO), has been actively selling off tokens since July 8. On August 12, this whale transferred $13.2 million worth of Ether to OKX, bringing their total selloff to $154 million at an average price of $3,176.

Conversely, another Ethereum whale made a notable purchase on the same day, acquiring 5,000 ETH for approximately $12.8 million. This whale has previously employed a successful buy-the-dip strategy, purchasing Ether at $2,100 before it rebounded to $3,100.

This disparity in Ethereum whale activity underscores the prevailing market uncertainty, as investors navigate a volatile environment and weigh their strategies in response to shifting market dynamics.
