Shiba Inu (SHIB) remains the top holding among the top 2,000 ETH whales. These top wallets currently hold $1,210,850,345 worth of SHIB. SHIB was trading down like the rest of the market amid the latest widespread declines. At the time of publication, SHIB was changing hands at $0.000020, down 6.48% in the last 24 hours per CoinMarketCap data.
David Gokhshtein, the founder of Gokhshtein Media and former U.S. congressional candidate, believes that Shiba Inu has a great model. He, however, feels that the next 12 months might be key for Shiba Inu.
Shiba Inu's recent developments
Top crypto exchange Binance recently announced adding a new Shiba Inu trading pair, SHIB/GBP. In response to the community's feedback, the Shiba Inu team recently disclosed that land can now be purchased with the Shiba Inu token in SHIB: The Metaverse, while sharing the details of minting land with SHIB.
Also, Shiba Inu has gained new holders this week. According to WhaleStats, the total number of SHIB holders is presently 1,144,895. Although an increase in holders may not have an immediate impact on the price, it may signify interest in an asset over time.
According to reports, more than 25 billion SHIB tokens have been burned in the first week of the SHIB burn portal's operation. By moving SHIB tokens to a burn address, users can permanently remove them from the circulating supply. In this way, it is feasible to make the token a little more scarce, potentially increasing its value.
