According to on-chain analyst Ember's monitoring, in the past 5 hours, Chainlink unlocked and transferred 18.75 million LINK (worth $214.6 million) from 5 non-circulating supply addresses: 18.125 million (worth $207.5 million) were transferred to Binance; 625,000 (worth $7.15 million) were transferred to the 0xD50...8Af multi-signature address.
Every three months, Chainlink's non-circulating supply address will unlock and transfer about 20 million LINK. Most of it will be transferred directly to Binance, and a small part will be transferred to the 0xD50...8Af address (the LINK transferred to this address enters the LINK staking reward distribution contract, which is used to distribute rewards to staking users).
Since 2022, nearly 133.4 million LINK (worth $1.29 billion) have been unlocked and flowed into Binance in this way, with an average transfer price of $9.69.
◎Although a huge amount of LINK is unlocked and flows into Binance on a quarterly basis, each time LINK is transferred to Binance, it does not cause a significant drop in the price of LINK.
