Mysterious new SHIB whale grabs 60 billion SHIB
While the price already began to surge as was mentioned earlier, an anonymous whale purchased a staggering amount of Shiba Inu worth $444,000, as was covered by U.Today on Thursday. For this money, the whale was able to buy a whopping 60 billion meme coins.
In total, that entity holds 73.255 billion SHIB in his wallet worth $541,350. Curiously, this wallet only emerged roughly a month ago when the first transaction on it was made. Merely within a month, the whale managed to grab half a billion USD worth of Shiba Inu meme coins.
