1 Trillion Shiba Inu (SHIB) Bought by Secret Whale: What’s Going On?

As a seasoned crypto investor with a knack for deciphering market trends and whale movements, I find myself intrigued by the recent happenings within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. The appearance of a new whale, “0x78342”, has undoubtedly stirred some excitement among us SHIBArmy members.


This week, within the Shiba Inu (SHIB) community, an enormous, yet undetermined, drifting entity was spotted. This colossal figure is often referred to as a “whale” by significant market investors due to their substantial financial influence.

The Shiba Inu network accommodates numerous entities. For instance, as reported by IntoTheBlock, about 59.95% or 589.67 trillion SHIB tokens are controlled by addresses that hold at least 1% of the total supply of Shiba Inu coins. It’s worth noting that over 410.42 trillion SHIB tokens reside in an inactive address, which is considered as having been burned.

Last week’s standout performer was the cryptographic address “0x78342,” that amassed more than a trillion SHIB tokens within the past seven days.

This is not the unknown investor’s first foray into the popular meme-inspired cryptocurrency; including his purchases during the week, the total amount of his SHIB portfolio came to 1.486 trillion tokens. At the current Shiba Inu price of $0.0000135, this volume is equivalent to $20.16 million.

In addition, it can be noted that most of the Shiba Inu tokens came to this unknown wallet from another unknown wallet “0x826c.” Interestingly, this address still has 1.395 trillion SHIB, which is about $18.87 million.

As a researcher, I find myself pondering over the significance of these observed partial transfers and shifts of cryptocurrency wallets between different addresses.

One side shows a significant investor amassing SHIB to the tune of millions of dollars. Conversely, it’s important to note that these tokens appear to be transferred from another unidentified source, not the exchange. This could indicate a large player reorganizing their Shiba Inu token wallets, but it doesn’t necessarily prove accumulation.
