According to the whale transaction tracker, the Shiba Inu token has emerged as the largest token held among the top 100 ETH whales. Data depicts that the biggest wallets now hold around $436.3 million worth of SHIB tokens. However, there has been a slight decrease registered in the whale accumulation regarding the token.

Meanwhile, the main reason behind Shiba Inu coming out at the top of the tally has been a wide liquidation of the FTX token by the ETH whales. According to reports, as of June 17, the top 100 ETH whales were holding more than $762 million worth of FTX tokens.

However, this amount has dropped down to stand at $44.9 million. Around $682 worth of FTX tokens have been moved out by the biggest wallets. The token stands at the top of the most sold token in the past 24 hours. FTT token is trading at an average of $26.80, at the press time.
