Shiba Inu whales seem to be awakening; a key metric that often gives an inkling of the actions of these large holders has soared 228% in the last 24 hours.
According to the on-chain analytics firm IntoTheBlock, large transactions on the Shiba Inu network in the last 24 hours totaled $36.45 million, which represents an increase of 228.64%.
Large transactions are those exceeding $100,000, and a spike in this metric might be due to a large quantity of buying or selling by whales or institutional holders.
