Giant Shiba Inu (SHIB) whale “0x1406” woke up after 157 days of dormancy to distribute 4 trillion SHIB tokens worth 8 new wallets. The whale is known as the largest holder of SHIB tokens and moves may have come in response to Shiba Inu lead developer Shytoshi Kusama’s announcement on the Shibarium mainnet and “Worldpaper” release in August.
A giant whale with 101.47 trillion SHIB tokens worth $756 million transferred 4 trillion SHIB worth $29.8 million to 8 fresh addresses. The whale has 10.15% of the SHIB total supply and is the largest holder of Shiba Inu.
The whale has not made large transfers for 610 days, accumulating and distributing SHIB tokens to other addresses. It is known for buying SHIB from dips.
In 2020, the whale bought 103.33 trillion SHIB tokens with 38 ETH $14k. Then sold 603 billion SHIB for 2411 ETH worth $9.6 million and sold 1.25 trillion SHIB worth $8.77 million to crypto exchange Coinbase in 2021. Currently, the whale still holds 101.47 trillion SHIB worth $756 million distributed in 23 wallets.
The news has come after Shiba Inu’s lead developer Shytoshi Kusama confirmed Worldpaper and likely release the long-awaited L2 Shibarium during the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Toronto, Canada on August 13-17, 2023.
Also, the Shiba Inu ecosystem will have the Doggy DAO and SHIB DOGGY DAO FOUNDATION, which carries out the DAO’s decisions and holds the DAO’s assets.
SHIB price fell over 1% from the 24-hour high and currently trades at $0.00000746. The 24-hour low and high are $0.00000737 and $0.00000759, respectively.
Meanwhile, Shibarium’s gas token Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) has rallied 82% in a month. The community believes the price can hit $3 after the Shibarium release. BONE currently trades at $1.29, up 1% in the past 24 hours. The 24-hour low and high are $1.27 and $1.31, respectively.
