According to the data revealed by Spotonchain, the whale address 0xd4a belonged to rochee.eth, a non-CEX and non-team-holding address accumulating ALT. With a staggering 5.5 million ALT accumulation, worth $2.99 million, the whale address now becomes the 2nd largest such holder of ALT.

Intriguingly, data also spotlighted that this whale had been active for over eight months prior to the abovementioned withdrawal.

Concerning Altlayer’s recent collaboration with EigenLayer, on the other hand, a staggering $100 million raised from a16z (Andreessen Horowitz) appears to align with the price pump.
