Shiba Inu Whale Abruptly Relocates 1,999,998,709,228 SHIB – Here’s Where the Crypto Is Heading

A mysterious crypto whale is suddenly shifting trillions of Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens as the top meme coin witnesses explosive price action over the past day.

Blockchain-tracking service Whale Alert reveals that a deep-pocketed entity moved a total of 1,999,998,709,228 SHIB worth $24.20 million from a popular crypto exchange to one unknown wallet in four separate transfers.

The transactions were made in a span of five minutes, suggesting that a single entity controlled that massive SHIB trove.

• 499,999,677,307 SHIB worth $6.05 million transferred from Binance to a wallet of unknown origin
• 499,999,677,307 SHIB worth $6.05 million transferred from Binance to a wallet of unknown origin
• 499,999,677,307 SHIB worth $6.05 million transferred from Binance to a wallet of unknown origin
• 499,999,677,307 SHIB worth $6.05 million transferred from Binance to a wallet of unknown origin

All in all, the whale paid a total of $6.51 worth of Ethereum (ETH) in transaction fees for the four transfers.

A closer look at the receiving wallet reveals that the large Shiba Inu trove was sent to a Gnosis Safe smart contract, according to blockchain-tracker Etherscan. Gnosis Safe, which bills itself as a trusted platform to manage crypto assets on the Ethereum blockchain, is a project from prediction market platform Gnosis (GNO). It is possible that the whale relocated his Shiba Inu holdings for security purposes.

The transactions were also made a day before SHIB erupted from a low of $0.00001243 yesterday to a high of $0.00001554 on the same day, representing gains of over 25% in just 24 hours. SHIB has slightly pulled back since and is trading at 0.00001503 at time of writing.
