That amount of LRC is equal to $3,949,226. The coin's market cap amounts to $1,161,918,063, with the daily trading volume hovering at $217,566,276 at the moment after a 19.90% decline.

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.

On Feb. 3, its price was much lower, sitting at $0.8295 per token.

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.

SHIB 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.
