Almost 4,000,000 mln LINK has been recently moved, with one fourth of it going to Binance from anonymous wallets as one of the most popular altcoins is still in decline after the peak price it achieved recently.

Besides, the most recent major crypto fan Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports has turned his back on LINK and Bitcoin, criticizing LINK marines.

3,954,000 LINK wired recently

The major Twitter bot Whale Alert posted data about three major LINK transfers. Two of them were sent to Binance exchange, bearing 554,267 and 400,000 LINK – $7.8 mln and $5.7 mln.

Those coins were likely to be cashed out, the community in the comment thread believes.
