A deployment address transferred 137 million tokens valued at $1.5 million six hours before a further 100 million tokens worth $1.08 million were sent to multiple centralized exchanges. The price of the token declined 7 percent from $0.01147 to $0.0106 following the movement of the second batch.
The transfers originated from the project's token deployment address. The second transfer of 100 million tokens went into several centralized exchanges. No official statement was issued regarding the reason for the transfers.
The price movement occurred within hours of the tokens reaching the exchanges. Such transfers from deployment or treasury addresses can sometimes be associated with liquidity provision, sales or other treasury management activities. The exact purpose in this case was not disclosed.
The token had been trading at $0.01147 immediately prior to the reported transfers. It reached $0.0106 after the 7 percent decline. The deployment address activity was tracked on-chain and reported by market observers.
