Blockchain tracking service Lookonchain recently revealed that a few crypto “whale” investors have been rapidly acquiring substantial quantities of Solana (SOL) from leading exchanges Binance and Kraken, with the funds subsequently staked—a move typically indicating a long-term investment perspective.
Over the last week, three prominent whale wallets pulled nearly $35 million worth of SOL, taking it off-exchange and into staking mechanisms.
Among these, one whale withdrew approximately 153,511 SOL from Binance, valued at $26.4 million, over a six-day span starting October 27.
A second account withdrew around 35,498 SOL, worth roughly $6.12 million, over three days, also transferring the funds into staking. The third whale removed 13,000.8 SOL, about $2.3 million, bringing their total holdings to over 95,000 SOL—an impressive sum with Solana trading at $180.

At a trading price of $0.09177 and a market cap near $91.75 million, NEIRO ranks as the 465th-largest crypto project, despite a recent dip in value.
This burst of activity on both SOL and NEIRO reflects targeted moves by large-scale investors, often perceived as strategic signals within the crypto market.
The crypto market’s well-known skeptic, Il Capo of Crypto, has once again sounded the alarm—arguing that the worst may still be ahead, even as Bitcoin remains above the $100,000 mark.
Solana (SOL) has gone down by 6% in the past week and although the token has recovered in the past 24 hours, technical indicators favor a bearish outlook. Trading volumes have gone up by nearly 18% as bulls managed to reverse an early sell-off during the Asian session. However, meme coins, an important segment of […]
