This whales shopping spree started June 7, 2023, when Pepe Coin traded at $0.000001054. The address accumulated 1.97 trillion Pepe tokens from June until December last year. Just over two months after the 6-month buying spree, the whale deposited the entirety of its PEPE holdings, worth around $6.07 million, to Binance. According to the blockchain analytics platform, the whale made over $3.49 million in profit in just a few hours. A smart whale deposited all 1.97T $PEPE($6.07M) to #Binance and made a profit of $3.49M. Then he changed his position from $PEPE to $SHIB, withdrawing 75.9B $SHIB($893K) from #Binance 3 hours ago.https://t.co/X67O2VjR1y pic.twitter.com/nL7rRDZCXT — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) February 29, 2024 The whale changed its position and bought 75.9 billion SHIB tokens just a few hours later. Suggesting that the investor saw potential in Shiba Inus future price performance. Whales tend to hold massive influence over the market as any movement of their large holdings could swing the markets sentiment over a cryptocurrency. Typically, when a whale withdraws its holdings from an exchange, investors interpret it as a sign of long-term confidence in that cryptocurrency. On the contrary, when a whale sells large amounts of a coin, investors might take this as a lack of confidence in the token. At the time of the report, the whales massive acquisition of SHIB was worth around $893,000. However, as of this writing, the tokens are worth over $1 million, according to Etherscans value. This showcases that the investment in SHIB increased its value by over $100,000 in less than 12 hours. PEPE And SHIB Performance The whales new investment, Shiba Inu, the 19th largest cryptocurrency and the second largest memecoin by market cap, has shown incredible performance in the last 24 hours. During the last day, SHIBs price skyrocketed 25.5% and currently trades at $0.00001388. Additionally, the tokens market activity has increased by 127.50%, with a trading volume of over $2.65 billion in the last 24 hours. On the other hand, PEPE was making headlines yesterday due to its impressive 140% price jump from the previous week. The frog-themed memecoin seems to be in the middle of a price resurgence fueled by the market dynamics and its social media popularity. However, PEPE trades at $0.000002891 at writing time, representing a 12% decrease in the last 24 hours. Compared to the tokens yesterday performance in the same time frame, a 59.47% increase from the day prior, PEPE seems to be facing a momentary slowdown. Similarly, PEPEs trading volume and market cap decreased by 22.47% and 11.96% on the last day. These metrics hint at a reduction in recent market activity for the cryptocurrency. However, its performance in longer timeframes, especially the 7-day 142% price surge, suggests that the memecoin is still outperforming the global cryptocurrency market, according to CoinGecko.

Shiba Inu Whale Activity Plunges 79% In Three Months Whats Happening?

The meme coin market has seen a remarkable transformation in the past year, large-cap tokens like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) have managed to stay in the forefront. Specifically, the SHIB token has experienced impressive growth, increasing in value by roughly 65% in the past year. However, the current uncertain climate has not spared any large-cap meme token, including Shiba Inu, with deep corrections and sluggish sideways movement plaguing most of the market in the past two months. As large investors now seem to be exiting the market, this dour condition might persist longer than expected. $1 Million SHIB Transactions On A Steady Decline In a post on the X platform, popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that the whale class of Shiba Inu investors has become less active in the past three months. This on-chain observation is based on Santiments Whale Transaction Count metric, which tracks the number of SHIB transactions worth more than $1 million. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Prediction: Extremely Strong Support And Monthly 55 EMA Says ETH Is Headed For $4,867 Whales refer to entities or individuals that hold significant amounts of a specific crypto asset (Shiba Inu, in this scenario). Crypto whales are often considered key players in the market, as their buying or selling activities can have a significant impact on the SHIB price; thereby resulting in speculation and potential market shifts. According to Martinez, there has been a 79% dip in the activity of the SHIB whales on the Shiba Inu network, suggesting a possible shift in investor sentiment. A steady decline in whale activity often indicates decreased confidence or interest from major holders, especially as they look to rotate into other assets. As seen with the recent Shiba Inu price action, a sustained downturn in large whale transactions is also often associated with a corresponding decline in value and intermittent sideways movement. Hence, if the price of Shiba Inu is to resurrect from its market slump, whale activity on the network would need to pick up as quickly as possible. Shiba Inu Price Overview As of this writing, the SHIB token is valued at around $0.0000156, reflecting an almost 3% price jump in the past 24 hours. While Shiba Inu seems to be consolidating around the $0.000015 level for most of February, the meme coin is yet to fully recover from its recent plunge toward $0.000012 earlier in the month. According to CoinGecko data, the second-largest meme coin is still down by more than 20% in the last 30 days. Meanwhile, the Shiba Inu price has shrunk by nearly 50% in the past three months.

Over $28 Million In SHIB Withdrawn From Exchanges Ahead Of Shibarium Launch

The Shibarium Layer-2 upgrade is launching any day now, and it looks like some big SHIB players are making moves ahead of the launch. According to on-chain data, over $28 million in SHIB tokens have been withdrawn from major crypto exchanges in the just concluded month of July.  Massive Withdrawals Signal Investor Interest in Shibarium According to data shared on Twitter by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, backed up by on-chain chart data from IntoTheBlock, around 3.30 trillion SHIB were withdrawn from known crypto exchanges in July, the highest SHIB withdrawal rate in recent months. The chart’s data also shows that the circulating supply of the token within exchanges fell from 86.69 trillion to around 83 trillion by the end of the month. Related Reading: USDT Issuer Tether Reports A 30% Decline In Profit July 19 saw the most significant withdrawal from exchanges, with more than two trillion tokens going into unknown wallets. According to on-chain data from @WhaleAlert, an Ethereum whale transferred 2.4 trillion SHIB tokens worth $18.7 million from Binance.US into an unknown wallet. With the price of the token up by 10% since then, the whale’s SHIB holding is now valued at more than $20 million.  These massive SHIB withdrawals can be traced to the announcement of the Layer 2 blockchain, Shibarium, which is expected to help minimize gas fees and increase the transaction speeds of the blockchain. Token price falls to $0.00000821 | Source: SHIBUSD on Tradingview.com While there’s still no official launch date for Shibarium yet, the high rate of withdrawals likely signals that SHIB investors are reducing the selling pressure and want to hold their tokens in private wallets in hopes of what the Shibarium launch might bring.  Withdrawals From Exchanges Reduces Selling Pressure On SHIB When SHIB is withdrawn from exchanges, it can’t be readily sold. This reduces the available supply of SHIB for sale, putting upward pressure on the price. When whales transfer such high amounts into self-custody, it frequently results in massive price changes and a rise in interest from other investors. This flurry of withdrawal into self-custody demonstrates the strength of the SHIB community and their faith in SHIB’s future. Related Reading: Is It A Good Idea To Buy Curve Now?

The meme coin is trading at $0.000008314 and is up by 7.55% in the past seven days. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
