Shiba Inu Whale Dumps 101 Bln SHIB Raising Concerns
According to an on-chain tracker named ‘The Data Nerd,’ whale 0x9f5 deposited a staggering 101 billion SHIB, worth $2.15 million, to Coinbase today, May 1. Notably, the whale accumulated these tokens a week ago with an investment worth $2.71 million.
However, the whale registered a loss of $560K, selling amidst the meme crypto’s downturn. This has sparked severe concerns among investors surrounding the token’s continued bearish movement in the market.
Intriguingly, usual market sentiments ride a bearish wave as the transaction conveys a loss of interest in the asset by the whale. Further, it birthed bearish sentiments among investors as the whale sold SHIB despite a considerable loss.
It’s worth noting that a post-BTC halving is yet to occur. Nonetheless, the whale dumped massive amounts of SHIB, flagging a potential continued bearish movement for the token.
Meanwhile, SHIB traded remarkably in the red today, aligning with a stockpile of bearish on-chain data and the whale dump mentioned above.
