Terra (LUNA) Wormhole Token Flips Staked ETH (stETH)

According to WhaleStats, the LUNA wormhole token flipped Lido Staked ETH (stETH) to become the biggest holding by dollars among the top 100 Ethereum whales.

The LUNA token accounted for 25.06% of the total holdings of all tokens, excluding ETH. The total value of the LUNA wormhole held by the top 100 Ethereum whales is almost $820 million. The token even surpassed USDC and USDT holdings of the top 100 whales.

The token brought a rally to Terra (LUNA) token as the whales used the Wormhole interoperability protocol token to exit liquidity. The Terra (LUNA) price jumped to a high of $3.08 and the trading volume reaches almost 150% in the last few hours.

However, the LUNA wormhole tokens were swapped to Ethereum (ETH), USDC, USDT, and Bone ShibaSwap (BONE). Therefore, an upside momentum can be seen in ETH and BONE prices, up over 1% and 10% in the last few hours.

Moreover, conversations between Terra Classic validator LUNC DAO and Bull.BnB reveals whales as the real reason behind the LUNA price pump. The whales made money in a $7 pump last month. Now, whales are trying to exit liquidity.

Meanwhile, whales and traders have also exited from TerraClassicUSD (USTC), with the price down over 17% in the last 24 hours.
