Although the crypto market has been experiencing massive sell-offs as prices of cryptocurrencies continue to crash, which notably affected the price of Shiba Inu (SHIB), the top Ethereum whales are still relentlessly accumulating the hottest and most popular dog-themed digital asset.
Amid the sell-off event, the price of Shiba Inu (SHIB) experienced an over 20% dip to trade at $0.0000135. This even made Ethereum’s biggest holders become more active in their SHIB accumulation spree.
