Top-tier whales scooping up 1.11 trillion SHIB
Despite the overall feeble performance of the whole crypto market this week, SHIB alone has demonstrated substantial growth, adding nearly 6% to its price within the last 24 hours.
Santiment agency believes that the gradual price rise of this popular meme coin recently has driven cryptocurrency whales with 10 million-100 billion SHIB tokens in their wallets to acquire an additional 1.11 trillion SHIB worth approximately $9 million over the past two months.
Besides, SHIB has reclaimed the 14th position on CoinMarketCap, leaving behind several major altcoins — Stellar (XLM), Avalanche (AVAX), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and a few others — by the size of the market cap.
At the time of this writing, SHIB is exchanging hands at $0.000008178, per data provided by CoinMarketCap.
