WhaleStats' analysis of the top 100 Shiba Inu holders reports that the 24-hour trading volume for this category of addresses has risen by 639%. Also, per IntoTheBlock data, Shiba Inu whales have been on their toes over the last 24 hours as the number of large transactions surged by 61%.
Increased activity among institutional participants, or whales, who are either buying or selling, is frequently indicated by spikes in large transactions.
Additionally, a 57.41% rise in active addresses was seen in the analysis of these major Shiba Inu holders as crypto whales engaged with millions of Shiba Inu, increasing the volume of large transactions. In the past 24 hours, the average SHIB balance and value increased by 18.53% and 3.06%, respectively.
This comes as Shiba Inu returns to the key psychological level of 0.00001, which has acted as a support level since the start of July.
According to CoinMarketCap, Shiba Inu was trading at $0.00001044 at the time of publication, still down 7.48% in the last 24 hours and 12.84% in the past week.
Bitcoin and the majority of altcoins faced another rout, swayed by investor apprehension in the lead-up to an impending Federal Reserve interest-rate hike and increasing regulatory scrutiny of the cryptocurrency industry.
