Shiba Inu whales accumulate $2.71 million worth of SHIB

Typically, large wallet investors scoop up the meme coin during its downtrend. In the recent downtrend, two large Shiba Inu whales accumulated a whopping $2.71 million worth of 256 billion SHIB tokens within a 24 hour period. 

The most popular Shiba-Inu-themed cryptocurrency made an attempt to bounce off crucial support at $0.0000098. Two deep-pocketed SHIB investors poured millions in three transactions to revive the meme coin from its decline. 

The whale is the fiftieth largest Shiba Inu holder and adding $1.32 million worth of SHIB to their portfolio increased their holdings significantly. The whale added this in two transactions within a 24 hour period.

Two of the largest burn transactions, 54,946,535 and 30,763,170 are recorded on the burn portfolio, both performed by the same mysterious wallet 0x8621a6b76a1c39713997b98230a7bb05526f89b3.
