Shiba Inu (SHIB) is back on the list of top 10 coins that cryptocurrency whales are interested in. The meme coin known as the Dogecoin killer has returned to the list of top ten cryptos actively bought by Ethereum (ETH) whales.
Shiba Inu back on the whales list
Data shared by popular crypto statistics and analytics firm WhaleStats shows that a few hours ago SHIB re-entered the list of top 100 Ethereum investors favorite crypto assets. The tweet says that Shiba Inu, the second most popular meme coin, is among the top 10 coins these ETH whales are chasing. But so far, SHIB has been pushed back from the position of the largest USD value token by FTX Token (FTT) and is now second on the list and third after Ethereum.
According to WhaleStats’ website, the top 100 whales on the Ethereum blockchain currently hold a total of $1,279,594,890 worth of SHIBs. That’s 56,344,997,357,992 tokens, or 14.47 percent of these whales’ portfolio. According to the information obtained by Kriptokoin.com, ex-SHIB whales are expanding their portfolio. Earlier this year, it was reported that “Gimli” among the top 9 Ethereum whales (inspired by the dwarf character from JRR Tolkien’s iconic fantasy novel “Lord of the Rings”) received large sums of Shiba Inu (50 billion tokens or more) several times.
Whale made massive purchase
On March 3, “Gimli” bought almost half a trillion Shiba Inu: 442,637, which at the time equated to $1,561,701. 867,858 tokens. However, according to the WhaleStats page dedicated to crypto-riches, the whale is now holding no breast money. However, he bought a total of 300,290 trending ApeCoins (APE) worth $4,020,087. Several other whales have also bought large sums of this cryptocurrency: 600,000 APEs worth about $8.4 million. APE price rose 1.23%, then suddenly dropped. On March 17, the token jumped from $1 to a historic high of $39.40, up a mind-boggling 1,232 percent. But so far, APE has dropped 13.40 percent to $66.16 from its all-time high. APE has a market cap of $3,699,481,829.
