According to the Shib burn Twitter account, an astounding 86,405,616 SHIB were just sent to dead wallets in a single transaction in the last hour.

Shiba Inu's large transactions jump 153%

Shiba Inu whales, or large holders, joined in the action as large transactions increased by 153% in the past day, according to statistics from IntoTheBlock. A transaction is often more than $100,000, and large transaction spikes are sometimes associated with increased activity from whales who are either buying or selling.

The analysis of the top 100 Shiba Inu holders by WhaleStats also revealed a 6.8% increase in the average Shiba Inu balance as a result of crypto whales dealing with billions of Shiba Inu and a rise in large transactions. In the past day, the average Shib value has also increased by 9.4%.

According to WhaleStats, SHIB has returned among the top 10 purchased tokens among the 1,000 biggest ETH whales, who now "hodl" $592,950,692 worth of SHIB.

As the lead Shiba Inu developer Shytoshi Kusama posted that he would soon share a Medium blogpost with the Shiba Inu community, anticipation is growing.

Shiba Inu was down 1.45% at $0.00001 at the time of publication, according to CoinMarketCap.
