Cryptocurrency markets are notorious for their volatility, which is often influenced by numerous factors. Among these dynamics, the decisions made by project teams can play an important role. There is interest today on STORJ, a project listed on Binance that is experiencing significant price movements. However, the unique part of the business lies in the rapid response of the team to the price increase by launching a sales strategy. Simultaneously, other altcoins are also making waves in the market and visible movements are observed among ETH, WLD and LINK. Here are the details…
STORJ team transfers coins to Binance
As a result of an unexpected event, STORJ saw a significant increase in its amount on the Binance exchange. What makes this notable is the quick response of the project team, which initiated the sale of STORJ tokens as prices rose. This strategic move raises questions about the team’s confidence in the sustainable growth of the project. Interestingly, this is not the first instance where the STORJ team has used such tactics. Previous events show a consistent pattern where the team strategically sells STORJ tokens to hedge potential bullish moves in the market.
The price of $STORJ increased by 15% today.

Critical whale movements in ETH, WLD and LINK
Beyond STORJ’s price increase, the cryptocurrency market has witnessed interesting movements in other altcoins. According to Lookonchain, a dormant whale deposited 5,000 ETH to Coinbase just three hours ago. Currently, 20,398 ETH ($45.88 million) remains in the account, indicating active participation in the market after nearly three years. Additionally, Spot On Chain reveals negative fluctuations on the CEX net flow chart and shows that whales have accumulated significant amounts of WLD across various trading platforms. Crypto market makers withdrew 3.02 million WLD (about $7.61 million) in the last four hours. These were notable transactions including Amber Group on OKX and Whale 0xbd8 on Binance.
