Whale grabs nearly billion SHIB
A week ago, U.Today covered that a major Ethereum investor “Gimli” who named his wallet after one of the key dwarf characters of Tolkien’s iconic novel “The Lord of the Rings” acquired a whopping 750 billion SHIB coins, moving them to his wallet in three transactions by 250 billion coins each.
In total, this investor paid a staggering $8.4 million for this amount of meme coins.
