Arkham Intelligence data indicates that the address “0x78342” purchased this additional quantity of meme coins. This wasn’t all as the majority of the Shiba Inu tokens came from another unknown wallet, “0x826c.”. It’s interesting to see that this address still possesses $18.87 million, or 1.395 trillion SHIB.
In addition, this wasn’t the first big move by the whale. The overall SHIB portfolio value of the whale, including purchases made during the week, was 1.486 trillion tokens. This volume is equal to $20.16 million at the current Shiba Inu price. Since this transaction was a movement from one address to another, the price of SHIB did not witness a massive spike.
