The Shiba Inu [SHIB] ecosystem has been making headlines on a daily basis. Ever since the launch of Shibarium, the meme coin network has been under the spotlight. More recently, a tweet from the blockchain tracker Whale Alert revealed that nearly five trillion SHIB meme coins have been transferred among unidentified Shiba Inu whales.
The tracker mentioned earlier documented an astonishing transfer of 4,642,530,677,374 SHIB. This was equivalent to $38,057,145. This notable quantity of SHIB was shifted from a wallet that had initiated its initial transaction merely two hours earlier, to a completely new address.
The aforementioned transaction occurred when several indicators of the Shibarium layer 2 network experienced significant increases. This further coincided with a substantial influx of new participants, indicating new/returning Shiba Inu Whales. Therefore, several speculated the latest movement to Shibarium. This situation could be interpreted as either a sale to a new significant crypto investor or a redistribution of SHIB holdings by an existing crypto holder.
