The recipient was already active before this transfer. The sequence does not establish that the outgoing LINK came from this deposit, who controls the addresses, or whether any LINK was sold.
Reviewed 2026-09-16 using the successful incoming transaction and Blockscout’s recipient transfer list. The list returned 50 records with older pages available. This is a dated case study, not a complete wallet history or an attribution of the remaining balance. Tiny transfers and zero-value events involving similar-looking addresses are excluded from the nine transfers.

The first completed observation after each checkpoint will appear here after review. These are cumulative flows since the case, not sales or remaining allocations.
12,519.35 LINK arrived from outside the group in addition to the initial nine deposits; 0 LINK moved between group members. Internal transfers are excluded from the chart.
Blockscout reports 0xfe9529…5c101e as “Binance Deposit” in the September 16 evidence. This is a provider label, not independently verified ownership or proof of a sale.
Balances include earlier holdings and other receipts, and were collected at different times. Missing balances are unknown. Transfer history is provider-indexed, reconciled back to this case, and limited to Ethereum LINK and the nine named recipients. Zero-value events are excluded from movement totals.

Sources & limitations
We follow the 50 largest addresses from our first recorded holder list. Bars show their net LINK balance changes, not purchases or sales. An exchange or contract can hold funds for many people; names are supplied by Blockscout and are not independently verified.
If an address drops out of later top-50 lists, its balance is unknown. Readings are taken when the data is collected rather than at a shared blockchain block. Transfers between readings may cancel out; this short window does not establish a long-term trend.
The largest unnamed wallet in this holder sample, 0x0757…57D4, received 30 transfers of at least 10,000 LINK in the returned sample. Its sampled net transfer flow was 63.71K LINK.
Observed window: 2026-09-03T14:53:23 to 2026-09-12T09:55:47 UTC · 50 records, older pages excluded. This is a selected address, not representative of all large holders. Ownership and purchase origin are unverified; consolidation or custody remain alternative explanations.
Tiny transfers also appear. Amount filters help inspect them separately; unsolicited dust and look-alike addresses should not establish a relationship between senders.
The holder list includes exchange wallets and a community staking contract. A single address can hold LINK for many people, while treasury addresses may hold tokens outside circulating supply.
These differences make the largest addresses an unreliable count of individual whales.
HYPOTHESIS / NOT ESTABLISHED
Transfers don’t establish purchases
An exchange withdrawal could represent self-custody, another exchange, collateral or an internal move. A transfer to an exchange is potential liquidity, not a verified sale.
This transaction sample does not establish sustained buying or selling.
