On‑chain tracking highlights an OTC execution through Galaxy Digital that market watchers read as a shift in institutional positioning toward Bitcoin.

Overview

  • Lookonchain data shows Jump Crypto moved 1.1 million unlocked SOL worth about $205 million to Galaxy Digital and received 2,455 BTC worth roughly $265 million.
  • The swap was completed in under 15 minutes using an OTC counterparty, indicating coordinated liquidity management rather than open‑market selling.
  • Solana slipped to roughly $181–$185 during the period, while Bitcoin held near $107,000–$109,000 based on market tracking at the time.
