Shiba Inu ($SHIB) surges 10% amid 4 trillion accumulation from Ether (ETH) whales

The trending meme token, Shiba Inu ($SHIB) saw the exceptional hike of 10 percent in past 24 hours, post an Ether ($ETH) Whale added 4 trillion SHIB, i.e., $136 million. As the crypto market showed slow recovery after a short bear run, tokens turned green overnight. However interestingly, Dogecoin’s prodigy, SHIB even outperformed the OG crypto, Bitcoin ($BTC) with just 6 percent spike, as well as Ethereum with 5.7 percent surge in past 24 hours. According to WhaleStats’ Twitter handle, Shiba Inu is the “most traded and biggest hodling token among the top 1000 ETH wallets”.

This is not the first time, SHIB has proven its dominance in top ETH wallet holdings. Last week, Shiba Inu reclaimed the first position by dollar value among the top 1000 Ethereum (ETH) wallets. After it had dropped to the third position in lieu of consecutive price crashes, it went back up, determining dedicated and consistently growing whale accumulation. Since then, SHIB has maintained its status, and was standing at a concentration of 7.71 percent with over $1 billion in USD value, at the time of reporting.
