A large transfer occurred on the TON chain, with 1,365,400 TON (approximately $2,321,200) transferred from a Kiln address to an anonymous wallet, and then transferred back to a TON-related address. This has raised questions about its purpose, and it is still unclear whether it is an institutional rebalancing or arbitrage operation.

【BiTi】A large transfer just occurred on the TON chain. At 19:59 Beijing time, 1,365,400 TON (worth approximately $2,321,200) was suddenly transferred from a Kiln address to an anonymous wallet address (starting with Uf9kSlin…). Interestingly, the anonymous address immediately transferred the same amount of 1,365,400 TON to a TON-related address. This series of rapid on-chain operations has attracted attention—whether it is institutional rebalancing, arbitrage, or other intentions, it is still difficult to determine for now. However, this transaction is quite significant in size. Interested friends can continue to observe the subsequent movements of this address.

This transfer mode needs to be examined carefully. The address entering and exiting so quickly seems a bit suspicious from an engineering perspective.

This move is really a bit sneaky, moving such a big position in the middle of the night? It smells a bit like arbitrage, but I'm not sure... Over 2 million USD just going in and out like that, I really can't hold it anymore. What tricks will this address play next? Stay tuned.

This operation is a bit suspicious. Moving such a large volume back and forth, we need to keep a close eye on it.

watched this exact pattern unfold during the wormhole exploit... immediate hop through anon address, same amount out. the symmetry is either brilliant arbitrage or someone covering tracks. either way, that tvl migration screams caution.

This transfer smells fishy. What's with the quick in and out operation? --- 1.36 million coins transferred instantly to an anonymous wallet and then moved again. Who's in such a hurry? --- Is this money laundering or arbitrage? The on-chain data can't reveal the true intent. --- Damn, this speed—transferring back and forth in less than a minute? Clearly someone is manipulating. --- Kiln to anonymous then to related addresses, this route design is a bit sophisticated. --- Keep a close eye on this address. It feels like there's more to the story. --- I just think there's a reason behind this kind of in-and-out operation. It doesn't feel right. --- $2.32 million being transferred back and forth like this. Are institutions or retail investors playing so recklessly?

Ha, it's this kind of quick in and out operation again. I always feel a bit of a "shakeout" vibe. --- 1.36 million tokens directly dumped to an anonymous address and then transferred out. This move is very slick. --- Oh my, the transaction speed feels like someone is testing the market's responsiveness. --- Anonymous addresses in and out, they really treat us like fools. --- Kiln address's move this time is a bit extreme. Just waiting to see how they will dump the market next. --- Wait, is this preparing for a large sell-off? Something feels off. --- Hmm... quick in and out transfers are indeed suspicious. Keep monitoring.

Is this another shakeout or an early exit? I've seen this trick too many times. Big players entering and exiting so quickly, it feels like they're testing the bottom. 1.36 million coins? Something doesn't feel right. Let's see how it develops. Toggling back and forth, who can understand this operation... It's another game of anonymous addresses. I really can't hold it together anymore.
