Although the recovery in the Shiba Inu price coincides with the general market rebound, whales seem to have contributed to its 8% rise. Shiba Inu's gains have notably surpassed Bitcoin and Ethereum's 5% increase in the last 24 hours.

Shiba Inu ranks as the most traded and biggest hodling token among the top 1,000 ETH wallets, the whales' surveillance website reports.
Metrics supplied by whale surveillance website WhaleStats suggest that whales might have bought SHIB's dip to $0.000028 on Dec. 20. WhaleStats reports an ETH whale transaction that occurred over 10 hours ago, indicating the purchase of 79,228,162,513 Shib tokens worth $2,582,838.
