SHIB becomes the largest ERC-20 holding
After Ethereum whales decided to shift their attention toward more "traditional" tokens, Shiba Inu managed to flip BEST, OKB and CRO, and to regain its place as the king of ERC-20 among the top 1,000 biggest addresses on the network. Whales currently own more than $2.3 billion worth of SHIB. The token's total market cap remains at $26 billion, with the majority of investors being mid-term traders.
