Unidentified Entity Transfers Massive Shiba Inu Tokens
A large, unidentified entity recently transferred a massive 1.25 trillion tokens of the meme-inspired cryptocurrency Shiba Inu ($SHIB). Shiba Inu has become a top performer in the crypto market, with a 52% increase in the past 24 hours and over 300% gain in the last week. The surge in value comes amid a broader cryptocurrency market rally driven by the approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States and an upcoming halving event for the cryptocurrency.
On-chain data shows that the whale transactions originated from Cumberland, a prominent crypto trading firm, and ended up in a wallet connected to the popular trading platform Robinhood, as first identified by Whale Alert. Although the specific individual or organization behind the transfer remains unknown, the involvement of Cumberland suggests that the transaction may have been facilitated for a high-profile client, potentially an institutional investor.
The Recipient Wallet’s Top Holdings
- The recipient wallet now holds the transferred SHIB as its most valuable asset, making up over $345 million of its total $435 million crypto portfolio.
- Chainlink (LINK) and Aave (AAVE) are the second and third top holdings in the wallet.
Shiba Inu’s Growing Adoption and Milestones
Shiba Inu’s surge aligns with a milestone for Shibarium, the ecosystem’s layer-2 scaling solution. The network has surpassed 3.5 million blocks and is approaching 400 million transactions, with over 1.35 million wallet addresses, indicating increasing adoption. Shibarium had reached the 300 million transaction mark in January of this year.
Whale Shifts Portfolio from $PEPE to SHIB
A cryptocurrency whale recently shifted their portfolio from a popular meme-inspired cryptocurrency to Shiba Inu. The investor profited handsomely from the $PEPE memecoin, booking a $3.49 million gain and diversifying their holdings into other cryptocurrencies after depositing nearly 2 trillion PEPE tokens, valued at over $6 million, onto Binance.
- The whale allocated 75.9 billion Shiba Inu tokens, valued at approximately $893,000, suggesting they believe SHIB offers significant upside potential compared to PEPE.
