WhaleStats has reported that slightly over three hours ago, the BNB whale in the top 100 among the largest 1,000 BNB whales purchased 8.9 million Dogecoin.

Meanwhile, an eye-popping 361 million DOGE have been shifted by other whales.

Big BNB holder buys nine million DOGE

The whale who made the purchase of 8,999,983 Dogecoin holds 75th place among the 1,000 BNB whales, per the WhaleStats scale. That address—0x51ca31fc7efb55db794378695ef3506aba0883d2—holds 20.75% of its portfolio in Binance Coin (BNB), worth $296,301.

However, the largest token by USD value here is not BNB but DODO. It constitutes 25.7% of the whale's crypto holdings and is worth $366,885. The total value of his portfolio is less than one million USD: $788,980.

Whales transfer 361 million Dogecoin

Ðogecoin Whale Alert has shared that in the past 10 hours, a lot more DOGE has been moved than the amount mentioned in the first part of the article.

Thus, more than 361 million coins have been shifted by Dogecoin whales in over a dozen transactions. The largest lump among them carried 100 million and 70 million DOGE.

Smaller transactions moved from 40 million to 7 million Dogecoin.

Interest in Dogecoin is rising along with its price. At the time of writing, the original meme cryptocurrency is changing hands at $0.1656, rising over 5% in the past 24 hours, per data provided by CoinMarketCap.
