Starting January 22nd, these wallets transferred 87,100 ETH (approximately $220 million) to a Galaxy Digital deposit address linked to Multicoin. On January 23rd, one day after the initial deposit, Multicoin-affiliated wallets began receiving HYPE tokens from Galaxy.
On January 26, Multicoin received its first large inflow of 465,000 HYPE (approximately $16 million), followed by another 990,000 HYPE (approximately $30.6 million) over the next five days.
