Chainlink (LINK) has surged in value as a mysterious whale continues their aggressive accumulation of the cryptocurrency, amassing a staggering $83.6 million worth of LINK tokens over the past five days. This whale has utilized 55 fresh wallets on major exchange Binance to accumulate a total of 4.56 million LINK, as reported by Lookonchain.
This accumulation follows a pattern of unusual activity surrounding Chainlink. Just last week, U.Today reported about new unknown wallets that withdrew over 2.2 million LINK, valued at $42.4 million, from the largest crypto exchange. Additionally, eight fresh wallets withdrew 227,350 LINK, worth $4.12 million, just before a significant price surge.
What's particularly intriguing is the timing of these withdrawals, which coincided with notable price increases for Chainlink. The cryptocurrency, already boasting a substantial market value, has experienced a remarkable $3.1 billion addition since the start of February.
