Whales buying cryptocurrencies in bulk has become a quite common phenomenon, but its impact is huge in the crypto market as it can lead to a bull run. According to latest WhaleStats report, a mysterious Ethereum whale has bought a staggering 442 billion Shiba Inu tokens in a single transaction before moving the fund to a larger wallet. The whale invested a whopping $11.9 million to fill his bags with the meme-inspired cryptocurrency $SHIB.
The transaction was spotted by the crypto whale tracking service WhaleStats, which has also notified through Twitter that it was seeing this buyer invest a huge amount on SHIB for the first time. The transaction also shows that the funds were later moved to a different wallet with over $100 million worth of digital assets.
However, the wallet currently holds $47 million worth of Shiba Inu tokens making it the largest investment alone. Other then SHIB, the whale also holds $21 million worth of $MANA, Fantom ($FTM), The Sandbox's $SAND and Ethereum (ETH).
