Major Solana (SOL) holders, known as whales, have recently orchestrated the transfer of over $500 million worth of SOL in six large transactions within 24 hours.
While 1.6 million SOL tokens (approximately $230 million) were moved to a Coinbase-linked wallet, potentially signalling an intent to sell, a significant majority – 80% – of the transactions involved transfers between unknown wallets, suggesting asset management rather than a mass sell-off.
