While SHIB continues to underperform in the crypto market, unknown Shiba Inu whales have been spotted transferring huge amounts of the meme token in the last 24 hours. The total fees paid in ETH for the $52.4 million worth of crypto transfer was $2.19 only.
Data procured from the leading crypto tracking platform, Whale Alert show that a total of 5,671,107,065,473 Shiba Inu tokens were moved by loaded SHIB investors in two separate wallet-to-wallet transfers.
Notably, the voluminous token shifting recorded within the past 24 hours, was executed in two transactions only and worth $52,358,251 at the time of execution.
