According to on-chain data, a large Chainlink (LINK) investor sold their shares today at a significant loss after making purchases during the 2021 bull market.

According to the shared data, the address in question purchased a total of 253,000 LINK tokens for approximately $5.58 million during the 2021 bull market. These purchases reportedly took place between August and December 2021, when the LINK price ranged from $18 to $33.

The same investor sent 215,000 LINK to the Bybit exchange this morning. This transfer was made for the purpose of selling, and it is estimated that the investor suffered a loss of approximately $3.5 million as a result of the transaction. Thus, the investor, after buying at levels near the market peak in 2021, held onto their assets throughout the bear market and finally sold at lower price levels.

At the time of writing, LINK is trading at $9.14.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) granted a regulatory exemption on September 18 for stablecoin intermediaries, allowing distribution without separate financial services licenses within Australia. This exemption provides regulatory clarity, reducing compliance costs, and potentially increasing institutional stablecoin activity under AFS-licensed issuers, signaling upcoming broader reforms in Australia’s digital asset space. ASIC Exempts Stablecoin Providers from Additional Licensing ASIC has provided class exemption for stablecoin intermediaries, allowing them to distribute cryptocurrencies issued by licensed Australian institutions without needing separate financial services licenses.
