<p>Identified by the wallet 4eocFb, the first <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/bitcoin-btc-what-is-a-whale/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto whale</a> has <strong>transferred 31,916 SOL</strong> (equivalent to $4.56 million) from KuCoin. It acquired 500,979 BODEN for $294,000.</p>

<p>The second operation was conducted via the wallet 9CjKf5. The crypto whale withdrew <strong>15,751 SOL</strong> (amounting to $2.25 million) from Binance, then invested:</p>
<ul>
 <li>$1.12 million in 4.86 million SLERF;</li>
 <li>$661,000 in 67.53 million BOME.</li>
</ul>
<p>These <a href="https://twitter.com/lookonchain/status/1779401901735575826" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">impressive figures</a> attest to their confidence in the potential of these memecoins, even during volatile periods in the crypto industry.</p>
<h2 id="h-not-all-crypto-investors-have-adopted-the-same-approach">Not all crypto investors have adopted the same approach</h2>
<p>Four distinct Solana whales succumbed to panic. They liquidated 5.68 million WIF, worth $12.41 million. These <strong>rushed sales</strong> were made at prices ranging from $1.9 to $2.35 per WIF. This reflects the palpable nervousness among some high-level cryptocurrency investors.</p>
<p>The analysis of crypto transactions reveals another interesting trend: Solana whales seem to <strong>favor <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/what-is-a-memecoin-definition-and-examples/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">memecoins</a></strong> despite their volatile and speculative nature. This preference could be explained by:</p>
<ul>
 <li>the search for quick gains,</li>
 <li>a belief in the long-term value of these digital assets.</li>
</ul>
<p>Indeed, memecoins can experience sudden price surges. Attractive enough to lure crypto investors seeking high returns.</p>
<p>In any case, <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/crypto-solana-on-the-verge-of-upsetting-the-established-order-on-the-market-chris-burniske" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the movements</a> of these Solana whales offer a fascinating glimpse into the dynamics of the crypto market during a correction period.</p>
