In a surprising turn of events, nearly half a billion Shiba Inu tokens have embarked on mysterious journeys in the last 24 hours.
According to blockchain explorer Etherscan, an unidentified Shiba Inu holder, operating under the address "0xEb4," initiated the enigmatic transactions by transferring a staggering 307.88 billion SHIB — equivalent to an impressive $2.8 million — to Coinbase.
Gamza KhanzadaevFurther delving into the transaction history reveals that this address had acquired Shiba Inu tokens over a month ago, withdrawing them from the same exchange. The plot thickens, with another colossal transfer involving a new unknown address, "0x3db." This time, 182,24 billion Shiba Inu tokens, valued at $1.66 million, were withdrawn from Coinbase overnight.
Notably, this address had previously executed SHIB withdrawals from the U.S. exchange, with its first transfers occurring just six days ago, involving over 30 billion Shiba Inu tokens, equivalent to over a quarter of a million dollars.
