Robinhood is largest DOGE holder

In a recent tweet, a major Dogecoin contributor known as Mishaboar on X/Twitter has revealed the biggest DOGE holder known so far. In his tweet, the DOGE army member accused former Binance boss Changpeng Zhao and crypto YouTubers of making unsubstantiated claims that 30% of all Dogecoin is being held by a cryptocurrency whale. CZ made that statement when he still ran Binance in 2021.

Mishaboar pointed out that any sophisticated cryptocurrency user would be able to identify this wallet as belonging not to an individual but as being a cold wallet of a crypto exchange. He stressed that many CEOs kept repeating that false thing about “the DOGE whale,” spreading misleading information.

The aforementioned user emphasized that the actual owner of that biggest Dogecoin holding was finally identified, and it belongs to none other than the Robinhood exchange. The platform held it on behalf of its users. Some speculations even pointed to DOGE's biggest fan, Elon Musk, as the “mysterious wealthy DOGE whale.” Mishaboar offered a crucial reminder of how important it is to do one’s own research every time one deals with the crypto space.
