The cryptocurrency market has been on a rollercoaster this August, with significant price swings keeping investors on their toes. Bitcoin (BTC), for example, took a sharp dive from its high of $70,000 on August 5th, dropping to $49,000 before making a partial recovery to stabilize around the $60,000 mark.
Amidst this volatility, one major $PEPE token holder—commonly known as a whale—decided to cash out. According to data from Lookonchain, this whale offloaded 420 billion PEPE tokens just an hour ago, netting around $3.13 million from the sale. Interestingly, this whale had acquired these tokens in two separate purchases on August 5th and 12th, investing a total of 3.13 million USDT.
Despite the massive transaction size, the whale only made a modest profit of $30,000 from the sale. This decision to sell might have been influenced by the recent market fluctuations, as the ongoing volatility could have created uncertainty about the token's future performance.
