5.7 Trillion SHIB Moved By Whales in the Past 24 Hours. Here’s Their Destination

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. 

In the first transaction, about 2.87 trillion SHIB tokens were transferred from a whale wallet to a new storage location. The user paid only $0.56 in ETH as fees, for the transaction which was worth about $26.4 million, at the time of execution. 

Etherscan reveal that the sending wallet unloaded all 2.87 SHIB, and on the same day, the tokens dropped in the wallet. The sending wallet currently holds zero SHIB. 

“2,871,107,065,473 SHIB (26,356,762 USD) transferred from unknown wallet to unknown wallet,” Whale Alert reported. 

Hours later, the crypto whales tracking account broadcasted another massive SHIB transfer. This time, 2.8 trillion SHIB worth approximately $26 million, was transferred from an unknown wallet to another wallet. $1.63 in ETH was the accompanying fee for this transaction.
