A large anonymous investor recently purchased a massive $444,000 worth of Shiba Inu, fueling speculation as SHIB prices rally.
According to transaction data, the unidentified whale account obtained 60 billion SHIB in a single transaction. This occurrence brought the wallet’s total holdings to over 73 billion SHIB, valued at $541,350.
Remarkably, this account made its very first Shiba Inu acquisition just one month ago. Yet in that short timeframe, it has amassed half a million dollars worth of meme-inspired cryptocurrency.
SHIB now constitutes nearly half of this investor’s portfolio, which totals $1.38 million in digital assets. The willingness to allocate such a large percentage to Shiba Inu signals bullish conviction.
