Chainlink Token Unlock Triggers Sell-Off Fears Amid Whale Interest

Chainlink's quarterly token unlock has sparked concerns about potential sell-off activity in the market. According to on-chain data, the company released 17.875 million LINK tokens valued at approximately $165 million in its scheduled unlock.

The majority of the newly unlocked supply, approximately 14.875 million LINK worth around $125 million, was transferred directly to Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange. This heavy inflow into exchanges typically signals anticipated sell-side activity, which may lead to downward pressure on the token's price.
