Pendle on the Move, Whale Activity Spark Speculation

Whale Activity in Pendle Crypto and TVL Drop

A recent analysis by data firm LookOnChain has revealed that a large holder, or "whale," has transferred out 1.1 million PENDLE (equivalent to $3.8 million) in the past hour and intends to deposit it into the Binance exchange for sale. This leaves the whale with 1 million, valued at $3.5 million.

It's worth noting that this whale acquired 3.44 million PENDLE from both centralized and decentralized exchanges between February 9 and April 27, 2023, at an average price of only $0.32.

Pendle TVL Plunged  

Recently Pendle Total value locked (TVL) dropped tremendously. In less than a month TVL dropped from $6.714 Billion to $3.344 Billion more than 50%. This decrease occurred as various liquid restacking markets, including Ether.Fi’s eETH, Renzo’s ezETH, Puffer’s pufETH, Kelp’s rsETH, and Swell’s rswETH, matured on June 27.

However, a decrease in TVL is considered a bearish signal for any cryptocurrency.
