A Closer Look Into The Report

According to the data spotlighted by LookonChain, the smart whale, going by the address 0x37d…, deposited 1.97 trillion PEPE, worth $6.07 million, to Binance, a renowned cryptocurrency exchange. This aided the whale in garnering a profit worth $3.49 million, nabbing global attention.
