The broader transaction trail in the provided sources also included an earlier sale of PEPE, extending the pattern beyond just two tokens. That matters less for the dollar amount than for the direction of the moves: this looked like a continued trimming of speculative holdings rather than a one-off rebalance.
What gives these transfers extra attention is the profile of the wallet owner. Aoki spent years closely associated with crypto and NFT culture, so even relatively modest sales can attract notice when they suggest a broader cooling-off from meme-token exposure and higher-risk holdings.
