Are large holders truly bottom-fishing, or are they just moving chips?

From an on-chain data perspective, the story becomes clear— a certain whale transferred about $200 million to an exchange, then gradually withdrew $38 million. On the surface, it's simple deposit and withdrawal, but the gameplay is entirely different.

The real details are here: of the funds withdrawn, approximately $33 million was directly used to buy 13.25 million LIT. This is not retail-level operation. This purchase directly caused the address's LIT holdings to account for 5.32% of the circulating supply— a single address locking such a large proportion can be a game-changer in any market.

More importantly, the underlying logic is no longer about "making a quick profit" in the short term, but shifting from a purely capital perspective to a chips perspective. When an address controls over 5% of the circulating supply in a short period, the focus is no longer on whether the price will go up or down tomorrow, but on— this address is becoming part of the price discovery process.

The question now boils down to one of two possibilities: either this is an early ambush on a certain opportunity, or this is the opening act of the next market narrative. #数字资产动态追踪 $BTC $LIT

A 5 percentage point change can alter the ecosystem? This guy's appetite is really big. --- It's another trick by on-chain whales, making my eyes dizzy. --- Is it an ambush in advance or a new narrative... Anyway, retail investors are still going to eat dirt. --- Sweeping 33 million LIT, this move would make anyone uneasy. --- 5.32% of the circulating supply from a single address, in other words, someone wants to have pricing power. --- The game over the chips is much more intense than a simple arbitrage. --- Two possibilities? I bet on the third—sell and run. --- This is the so-called "institutional-level operation." --- It looks like a bottom-fishing, but actually it's laying out the next story.

5% of the circulating supply? This guy is really playing a big game, or he's about to make a move.

Oh wow, 5.32% circulating supply? Is this guy really trying to pump the price or just paving the way for the next narrative? Looks like he's digging a hole and waiting for people to jump in. This is the difference between big players and retail investors. They have long upgraded from small profit margin trading to a game of chip control, while we're still watching whether the price will go up tomorrow. It's really absurd that a single address can change the entire ecosystem's direction. The fragility of the crypto ecosystem... The move with LIT is a bit interesting. If it weren't for the premeditated setup, it would be the beginning of another story. Anyway, retail investors can't avoid being the ones to take the bait. Whales move with such rhythm—either cutting the leeks or laying out plans. Anyway, ordinary folks like us can't see through it.

5.32% of the circulating supply? What is this guy thinking? Isn't he just making a big move?

5.32% of the circulating supply... This guy isn't bottom-fishing, he's establishing a power center.
