AVAX Declines Amid Onchain Analyst’s Discovery of Major Transfers
Zachxbt, a well-known onchain analyst, uncovered a substantial transfer of AVAX. The AVAX holder moved 1.96 million AVAX, valued at $54.2 million, to major exchanges including Coinbase, Binance, and Gate, and used Thorchain for bridging. Zachxbt confirmed on Twitter that this transaction did not involve the Luna Foundation Guard, a key player in Terra’s ecosystem that previously amassed a significant amount of AVAX.
“I conducted a timing analysis and found highly probably BTC withdrawals made shortly after the AVAX deposits at both Coinbase and Binance,” Zachxbt said. 587.75 BTC ($38.1M) was withdrawn from Coinbase [and] 122.66 BTC ($7.95M) was withdrawn from Binance.”
Currently, AVAX is down 8.6%, although it was 10% lower around the time Zachxbt announced his findings. The cryptocurrency has experienced a sharp downturn, dropping 23.4% over the last two weeks and 36.1% over the previous month. The digital currency now trades 82.5% beneath its peak price of $144.96 per unit, recorded on Nov. 21, 2021. Today, AVAX‘s trading price hovers at $25.39, with intraday fluctuations ranging from $24.92 to $27.84.
