Ethereum Whale Buys Billions of Shiba Inu: Bullish Reaction Expected?
The Shiba Inu community is buzzing after a significant whale transaction signaled renewed confidence in the meme coin. During the early hours of Monday morning, an Ethereum whale made a huge Shiba Inu transaction that involved more than 49.6 billion tokens. This purchase comes at a time when the market is experiencing volatility, and it's prompting discussions about a potential bullish reversal.
While retail traders continue to offload their tokens amidst market uncertainties, whales have identified good opportunities to buy the Shiba dip. This latest acquisition adds to the growing trend of whales accumulating SHIB during price dips. Crypto analytics firm Lookonchain flagged a huge sale activity, however, the overall sentiment remains cautiously optimistic given this recent large buy.
Adding to the intrigue, an anonymous Ethereum whale that currently holds more than $100 million worth of Shiba Inu tokens has purchased an additional 47 billion SHIB tokens and become one of the largest holders. This highlights a strong, continued belief in Shiba Inu's long-term potential from major investors.
Data from WhaleStats further supports this observation. The Ethereum whale known by the name ‘Jiraiya’ has purchased $1,079,500 worth of Shiba Inu equal to 49,998,760,270 tokens, according to the platform WhaleStats. This specific transaction showcases the magnitude of whale activity impacting SHIB's price movement.
In the last 24 hours, whales have offloaded huge SHIB tokens, pushing the asset further into the red zone. However, this substantial new purchase could counteract that selling pressure. The question remains: will this whale's bold move trigger a significant bullish reaction in the Shiba Inu market? Keep following us for updates on this developing story.
