In an unexpected event, Whale Alert's recent report has uncovered a staggering transfer of 692.4 billion Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens, valued at $19.26 million, from the hot wallet of Crypto Com, a leading cryptocurrency exchange. The destination? An undisclosed address, shrouded in mystery.
However, scrutinizing the on-chain data, it appears that the recipient of this colossal transfer is none other than BitGo, a prominent digital asset trust and security firm headquartered in California. The address, "0xe3B," suspected to belong to BitGo, now holds a substantial portfolio worth $52.96 million, including the newly transferred SHIB tokens.
Notably, SHIB tokens have now taken the top spot in this portfolio, surpassing even the native Crypto Com token, CRO, valued at $10.83 million. This hints at a significant interplatform transaction, dispelling notions of a solitary whale withdrawing tokens from the exchange.
Interestingly, this massive transfer occurred amid a period of growth for the Shiba Inu token, with its price chart exhibiting optimistic signs. The current trend resembles a double bottom formation, with the token's price consolidating around $0.0000264 after an unsuccessful attempt to breach the $0.00003 mark. Analysts speculate that a breakthrough could propel SHIB's price as high as $0.000046.
The timing of this transfer raises eyebrows, leaving the cryptocurrency community speculating about its potential implications on SHIB's price trajectory. Could this enigmatic movement signal a forthcoming surge in value, or does it hint at broader strategic maneuvers within the crypto space?
