Top Ethereum Whales Now Hold Almost $1.5 Billion Worth Of SHIB

Shiba Inu still remains a whale favorite going by the activities of the top Ethereum whales in recent days. These whales seem to be undeterred by the low prices of the meme coin and rather continue to buy the digital asset in the millions.

This whale known as “Bluewhale0073” made the purchase on Monday and has bought 193,098,244 SHIB in the transaction.

Additionally, the Shiba Inu contract had made it onto the list of the top 10 contracts that the whales had interacted with for the past day.  The token is now ahead of FTX Token as the highest holding by dollar value. It is also 5th on the top 10 most purchased tokens by the top 1,000 ETH whales in the last 24 hours.

Shiba Inu continues to trend around the $0.00002 level, showing reduced momentum at this point. This has put the digital asset below its 50-day moving average. And for an asset like SHIB which thrives on hype, falling below this point can signal more downtrend to follow.  SHIB trending at $0.000025 | Source: SHIBUSD on TradingView.com A flash dip in the early hours of Monday had seen its price dip to $0.000023 but presumably, the activity from the Ethereum whales had helped boost the price back up. Nevertheless, the meme coin continues to trade more than 60% below its previous all-time high.
