Shiba Inu Whale Purchased 1.75 Trillion SHIB?
On May 2, a wallet address withdrew 1.75 trillion SHIB in two transactions totaling 875,000,000,000 SHIB, each worth $19 million. Shiba Inu coins were transferred in large quantities from Robinhood to a single wallet address, which sparked hopes for a bounce back in the price of SHIB following its recent decline.
The massive transfers occurred from Robinhood to the wallet address 0x73AF3bcf944a6559933396c1577B257e2054D935. Etherscan data revealed that the wallet had also moved SHIB to and from Robinhood before.
The wallet transferred 3 trillion SHIB to Robinhood 8 days ago and 4 trillion SHIB 13 days ago, before the most recent 1.75 trillion transfer. Thus, it might be Robinhood’s internal wallet or a market maker’s. The tokens in the wallet have turned down the prospect of it belonging to Robinhood.
Further data revealed that on-chain analysts had reported the wallet address earlier for large token movements and claimed the wallet belonged to market maker Jump Trading. This wallet has 246 distinct crypto assets worth $449 million. The second-largest holding is SHIB, which the wallet holds over 5 trillion SHIB tokens worth $129 million.
