Whale interest in SHIB is rising
The recent transfer of Shiba Inu by whales can be attributed to SHIB nearing its Shibarium layer-2 launch. This particular launch seems to have attracted a lot of whales and the whales seem to have a rising interest in the memecoin. The whale that was inactive started its activities in May, exactly during the time when news of Shibarium has been spreading across social media.
