Top Whale Buys Billions Of Shiba Inu (SHIB) Tokens, Burn Rate Jumps Over 700%
A top whale purchased billions of Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens on Friday. The move came amid the massive increase in the daily burn rate of SHIB tokens after the Shibarium Beta release dubbed PuppyNet.
WhaleStats in a tweet on March 31 reported that an ETH whale named “BlueWhale0073” has purchased 99,297,904,247 SHIB worth $1.05 million. The whale is ranked 254 on WhaleStats, with major holdings in stablecoins, Compound, AAVE, Chainlink, Shiba Inu, MATIC, and Sanin Inu.

Whales continued buying SHIB tokens in huge quantities after the Shibarium Beta release this month. The SHIB burn rate has increased as every transaction on Shibarium burns SHIB, with developers claiming to burn 100 trillion SHIB each year.
