LRC is demonstrating a slight price increase of 5.37%, changing hands at $0.8705 as of this writing, according to data provided by CoinMarketCap.

Loopring is a protocol based on Ethereum and designed to build decentralized crypto exchanges. The token was given to investors during an ICO in 2017; however, the Loopring protocol was created on Ethereum two years later—in 2019.
Yuri MolchanSHIB is second largest holding
The second most popular meme crypto, Shiba Inu, remains the second highest bet of the "Light" whale—SHIB constitutes 21.92% of his portfolio, worth $777,452,540 (36,724,257,912,139 SHIB).
Token number one (and the biggest token by USD value) here is RON—36.57% of the overall portfolio, worth $1,296,609,150.
CoinMarketCap does not provide any regular data on this token, and it does not even have a ranking. However, the coin's page says that RON (RonCoin) is issued for influencers around the globe and for their followers, who are both sponsors and fans of these influencers. CoinMarketCap has marked this coin as one with untracked market data.
