Chainlink (LINK)
Another whale, which deposited 451,135 LINK worth $2.26 million to Binance in the past hours, is currently writing a loss of $1.4 million. Some of his losses came from 450,997 LINK, worth $3.66 million, which he also deposited with Binance in April. Whale evaluated April’s LINK transfer by converting it to AAVE.
According to Lookonchain’s report, if the whale were to sell now, it would lose $1.4 million from the LINK investment, which it bought at an average of $8.12.

How is the altcoin market?
As the collapse from SEC lawsuits and market sell-offs continues, investor sentiment shifts to more established cryptos like Bitcoin and Ethereum, suggesting that more reliable coins are favored in the face of regulatory uncertainty.
The current ‘neutral’ rating of the fear and greed index indicates that the market has not yet fully reacted to these recent events. However, the situation remains volatile and further developments, such as additional regulatory actions or market changes, could rapidly alter investor sentiment and market dynamics.
Since June 6, when the lawsuits were filed, the total market cap of the crypto market has dropped 6.4% from $1.12 trillion to $1.04 trillion. Meanwhile, Bitcoin dominance rose 1.92% from 45.82% to 47.74%, Ethereum dominance rose 0.27% from 19.83% to 20.08%, and Tether dominance 7.63%. increased by 0.33% to 8.00%. As Cryptokoin.com reported, the decline was parallel to the delisting moves of stock markets and companies.
