Whale Buys 1.7 Trillion SHIB in a Week for $22.2M

As per the data available on Crypt Eye, a mysterious Shiba Inu (SHIB) whale purchased 1,713 trillion SHIB tokens. The tokens are worth a whopping $22.2 million. A majority of the tokens (one trillion) were purchased within 24 hours. The wallet currently holds a total of 24 trillion SHIB tokens. The total value of the tokens is an eye-watering $319.2 million.

As of now, it is unclear whether the wallet belongs to an investor, or is connected to Shiba Inu developers. Nonetheless, the wallet is the 6th largest SHIB holder. The largest is the “dead wallet” used for SHIB burns. The dead wallet set a new burn record in August with 3.6 billion SHIB being removed from circulation within the month.

Major developments for Shiba Inu

One of Shiba Inu’s most anticipated launches of this year is the upcoming Shiba Eternity game. The game was released in Vietnam for beta testing and from what people are saying online, it is a big hit in the country. Furthermore, there is word that the game will have different versions. First will be a mobile version, which can be downloaded from Google’s Play Store, or Apple’s App Store. Additionally, the mobile version will have in-app purchases.
