Shiba Inu has been dominating the memecoin realm alongside Dogecoin. Memecoins have picked up a newborn interest among investors from last year. Even though the crypto market is slumping in a prolonged bear market, interest in SHIB among the whales hasn’t settled.
Recently, whale activity around Shiba Inu has been happening at an alarming rate. Whales were not buying billions, but trillions of SHIB. The whales have also been transferring and dumping the SHIB and buying it back. This has become a routine activity for some anonymous whales.
Recent data from Etherscan shows that an anon whale has transferred 2.8 trillion SHIB to another wallet.
