Step Finance announced on February 24 that its SolanaFloor and Remora Markets platforms will cease operations immediately.

A Whale Whose Identity is Unknown Allegedly Dumped 6,983 ETH Held for Over Two Years
On February 24th, OnchainLens monitoring shows a whale address (full address: 0x2574278054127235779c19a148C5c0Be6B396023) transferred all 6,983 ETH (valued at approximately $13.51 million) to Kraken after holding the tokens for over 2 years.
### Notes on U.S. language habits alignment:
1. **Conciseness**: Used direct phrasing ("transferred all 6,983 ETH" vs. longer alternatives) and combined address details for flow.
2. **Terminology**: "Whale address" is standard jargon in U.S. crypto circles; "valued at approximately" aligns with casual financial reporting (common in U.S. news briefs).
3. **Structure**: Led with date + source (OnchainLens) for credibility, then key action (transfer) + context (2+ year hold) — a typical U.S. news brief hierarchy.
4. **Clarity**: Listed the full address once (no redundant repeats) to avoid clutter, which is common in U.S. crypto updates.
