In a surprising turn of events, the latest data from Etherscan has revealed that the MEXC exchange has steadily risen to become the third-largest holder of Shiba Inu token BONE. With a staggering 12.506 million BONE tokens currently residing in MEXC's hot wallet, this stash equates to a jaw-dropping $12.67 million at the current token price.
Godfrey BenjaminWhat makes this revelation even more intriguing is that MEXC's wallet can claim the title of the largest single wallet holder of BONE, as the only bigger holders are the two smart contracts linked to staking management and ShibaSwap.
It is a paradoxical situation, considering that MEXC does not even rank among the top five centralized exchanges in terms of BONE trading volume. According to CoinMarketCap, MEXC languishes in eighth place with a daily turnover of $640,500 BONE. Leading the pack are Huobi, OKX and Gate.
