Popular cryptocurrency tracker Whale Alert, which tracks down large crypto transfers, has spread the word about several hundred billion SHIB meme coins getting withdrawn from major trading platform Robinhood. The destination of this transfer is an anonymous wallet.
Aside from this massive SHIB transfer, Whale Alert also spotted two other large meme crypto transactions, as 326 million Dogecoin were moved from the same platform.
600 billion SHIB and 326 million DOGE on move
The enormous transfer of more than half a trillion Shiba Inu meme coins was detected by the aforementioned data source approximately 13 hours ago. In fiat, this constitutes an equivalent of $13,713,299. The transaction was made to a blockchain wallet tagged by Whale Alert as unknown.
This transaction was made between two large transfers of another popular meme cryptocurrency – Dogecoin: 200,000,000 and 126,705,738 DOGE (almost 327 million DOGE in total), valued at $28,790,166 and $18,431,371.
Overall, SHIB whales’ activity has seen a drastic increase as of late; as reported by U.Today, over the past week, a staggering 17 trillion SHIB have been transferred, according to data shared by IntoTheBlock.
Still, a deeper look at all three of these transactions made from Robinhood show that the three meme coin lumps ended up nowhere but back on Robinhood, with the destination wallets belong to this trading venue, indicating that Robinhood has been reshuffling its SHIB and DOGE holdings.
