Whale Alert has spotted a gargantuan amount of Shiba Inu meme tokens shifted from one anonymous wallet to another. The transaction was worth nearly $36 million. A smaller lump of "only" 120 billion SHIB was shifted prior to that.
In the meantime, some of the top Ethereum whales have begun getting rid of their SHIB in favor of another altcoin.
3.3 trillion SHIB on the move
Details from Etherscan show that this transaction, carrying a total of 3,367,037,381,943 SHIB, was conducted between two anonymous crypto wallets on the Ethereum chain.
