Whale Moves 4 Trillion Shiba Inu Amid Increasing Burn Rate
On September 23, a substantial and attention-grabbing transfer of Shiba Inu (SHIB) meme coin was observed by the cryptocurrency tracking platform, Whale Alert. An astonishing of over 4 trillion SHIB coins were moved from a cryptocurrency exchange to an undisclosed wallet in this notable transaction. Notably, the SHIB price has shown stability in the aftermath of this development, indicating that it has lifted the investors’ sentiment.
Whale Shifts 4 Trillion SHIB
According to the latest report by Whale Alert, around 4.6 trillion SHIB coins, worth $33.38 million, have been transferred from the Bitvavo exchange to an unknown wallet. The hefty transfer seems to have caught the eyes of the investors, especially the Shiba Inu community, as evident by the recent gains in crypto despite a slump in the broader market.
Notably, according to Etherscan, the wallet (0xfd557a929CC7c11111e655348774f8a790D3eA5F) in which the SHIB coins were transferred, has only one token in its holdings. It currently holds 4,595,530,677,374.45 SHIB coins, the exact amount that was transferred earlier today.
The recent transaction has ignited market speculations, with theories ranging from a potential sale to a whale redistributing their cryptocurrency holdings. Alternatively, considering the transfer’s substantial size, it’s plausible that the crypto exchange itself is relocating a portion of its SHIB holdings to an internal address.
Meanwhile, the true nature of the transfer remains a subject of intrigue and discussion within the crypto community.
