On-chain data monitoring shows that in the early hours of January 12, over 4.5 million TON tokens were transferred to anonymous addresses and then quickly dispersed. This strategy may reflect whale holders' risk aversion and market preparation. Traders should pay attention to similar behaviors to grasp market trends.

【CryptoWorld】On-chain data monitoring shows that at 03:10 on January 12th, Beijing time, over 4.5 million TON tokens (approximately $8.045 million) were transferred from the TON mainnet to an anonymous address. Interestingly, this transfer was just the prelude—only one minute later (03:11), the address split and transferred 1.3336 million TON to another new address.

Such step-by-step operations often reveal the strategic intentions of whale holders. First large-scale entry, followed by rapid dispersal of funds, usually indicates either risk avoidance (dispersing addresses to reduce single-point risk) or preparing for subsequent major moves. Considering TON’s recent market enthusiasm and ecosystem development, similar on-chain large movements warrant ongoing attention.

For traders involved in the TON ecosystem, monitoring such whale behaviors can help grasp market trends.

Oh no, what is this whale playing at, splitting twice in one minute? Wait, 8.04 million USD just disappeared with a flip, I need to keep a close eye on it. The trick with the dispersed address... here comes the volatility again.

Ah... another big fish is moving, transferring twice in a minute. I feel like it's money laundering haha No, this rhythm... it must be brewing something big This move with TON is really interesting, the whales can't sit still anymore The trick of dispersing addresses is old, just afraid of being watched to death Wait, this number of 1.33 million tokens is a bit peculiar... Could it be another pump? 8 million USD transferring twice in a minute? Should I stay awake or sleep in the middle of the night?

Here comes the whale drama again, the old trick of distributing addresses... But the move of 8.04 million USD is indeed quite interesting.

Whales are starting to disperse addresses again. This move is an old trick... Either they are trying to dump the market or holding back a big move.

4.5 million TON tokens in three transactions in one minute? This pace is a bit rapid, feels like it's setting the stage for a major event.
