Shiba Inu Whale Transfers 4 Trillion SHIB Tokens
Lookonchain on July 13 revealed that a giant whale with 101.47 trillion SHIB tokens worth $756 million transferred 4 trillion SHIB worth $29.8 million to 8 fresh addresses. The whale has 10.15% of the SHIB total supply and the largest holder of Shiba Inu.
The whale has not made large transfers for 610 days, accumulating and distributing SHIB tokens to other addresses. It is known for buying SHIB from dips.
In 2020, the whale bought 103.33 trillion SHIB tokens with 38 ETH $14k. Then sold 603 billion SHIB for 2411 ETH worth $9.6 million and sold 1.25 trillion SHIB worth $8.77 million to crypto exchange Coinbase in 2021. Currently, the whale still holds 101.47 trillion SHIB worth $756 million distributed in 23 wallets.
Spot on Chain noted that the whale made the last transaction 157 days ago when it purchased 7,049 SHIB tokens. The main wallet “0x1406” still holds 6.20 trillion SHIB worth $46 million.
The news has come after Shiba Inu’s lead developer Shytoshi Kusama confirmed Worldpaper and likely release the long-awaited L2 Shibarium during the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Toronto, Canada on August 13-17, 2023.
Also, the Shiba Inu ecosystem will have the Doggy DAO and SHIB DOGGY DAO FOUNDATION, which carries out the DAO’s decisions and holds the DAO’s assets.
