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.

Oftentimes, a move in the price of Shiba Inu has coincided with a significant spike in this metric.

Shiba Inu seems to kick off April on the right foot after closing March down by 9.83%. At the time of writing, Shiba Inu was up 2.60% in the last 24 hours at $0.00001084.

According to CoinMarketCap data, a whopping 17,603,658,210,868 (17.6 trillion) SHIB worth $190,816,713 was swapped in the last 24 hours. Shiba Inu's 24-hour trading volume was up nearly 21% at the time of writing.

6.78 billion SHIB burned in March

According to the Shibburn Twitter account, a whopping 6,782,788,547 SHIB tokens were burned in March with 540 transactions.

In the last 24 hours, a total of 149,313,637 SHIB tokens were burned and eight transactions were made.
