One of the altcoins that fell the most in the decline in Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins was Solana ($SOL).
However, it was also one of the best performers in the recovery. Whales that took advantage of this recovery in Solana also became active.
According to Lookonchain’s post, a whale with around 1 million $SOL tokens has made more than $153 million in profits after four years of staking on Solana.
Accordingly, this whale bought about 1 million Solana in 2021. At that time, these $SOL tokens were worth only $27 million.
The whale staked the $SOL tokens he received and made a huge profit in 4 years.
Following the huge profit, the giant whale began unloading some of its $SOL stock to cash in on its gains.
At this point, the whale unstakes 100,000 $SOL tokens (worth around $14 million) and sends them to Binance. Sending tokens to a crypto exchange usually indicates an intention to sell.
According to Lookonchain, the whale still has 1.19 million Solana tokens, worth around $166 million. Since the giant whale spent $27 million on $SOL, the total unrealized profit for the address is around $153 million.
“After 4 years of staking, this whale cancelled his stake of over 100k $SOL (worth $13.9m) 2 hours ago and deposited it into his Binance account.
At the time, he had deposited 991,079 $SOL for $27 million.
He currently has 1.19M $SOL (worth $166.37 million) of shares outstanding and his total profit is over $153 million.”
After 4 years of staking, this whale unstaked 100K $SOL($13.9M) 2 hours ago and deposited it to #Binance.
Back then, he staked 991,079 $SOL at around $27.
He still has 1.19M $SOL($166.37M) staked, with total profits of over $153M.https://t.co/X9KSXT0jES pic.twitter.com/qJ4tehUEUO
