A major holder withdrew and staked 20,000 SOL five months ago, earning approximately $62,400. However, due to a price decline, the current 20,466 SOL holdings are only worth $2.83 million, resulting in a loss of about $1.27 million. Recently, he decided to redeposit all SOL back into the exchange, indicating a shift in market sentiment.

【Blockchain Rhythm】On-chain data shows that a whale address withdrew 20,000 SOL from a major exchange five months ago (worth approximately $4.1 million at the time), and then staked the tokens. During this period, the staking yielded 466 SOL, equivalent to about $62,400.

However, the story took a quick turn. Due to the continuous decline in SOL’s price, the 20,466 SOL held by this whale is now worth only about $2.83 million, a loss of approximately $1.27 million from the initial withdrawal. Although the staking rewards are still considerable, they couldn’t withstand the impact of the falling token price.

Interestingly, just an hour ago, this whale made a decision—to move all 20,466 SOL (about $2.83 million) back to the exchange. This could indicate a change in attitude towards the market or a search for other investment allocations. From withdrawing for staking to re-depositing, this cycle reflects both the on-chain liquidity dynamics and the real-time decision-making of crypto investors amid price fluctuations.

Staking yield of 60,000? Laughable, directly losing 1,270,000. This is the daily routine of big players. Making a lonely profit, yet getting hammered by the coin price. No wonder they're rushing to dump on the exchange.

No matter how high the staking rewards are, they can't compare to the price crash. Stay sober, brother.

Staking earnings of 60,000 compared to a loss of 1,270,000—this difference is not just a little... When the coin price crashes, everything becomes pointless. No wonder they withdrew directly.

Staking 60,000 and earning but losing 1,270,000, this deal is really incredible... I think, rather than fussing over that little staking profit, it's better to cash out early. This guy is quite smart.
