What caught the attention of market observers is the significant increase in SHIB holdings by major investors. Data aggregator IntoTheBlock reported that these influential SHIB holders have rapidly acquired massive amounts of this popular meme cryptocurrency. Within just 24 hours this week, their holdings surged by over 20 trillion SHIB. Similar spikes were previously detected in late March and January, earlier in the year.
As of the time of writing, SHIB is being traded at $0.0000876, representing a slight 0.8% increase in the past 24 hours, according to Coingecko.
While the rise in token burn may not have been as dramatic as initially presumed, it is clear that major holders are actively accumulating SHIB. This ongoing trend of increased holdings suggests a growing interest in the cryptocurrency, which could potentially impact its future price movements and market dynamics.
Investors and enthusiasts alike will be keeping a close eye on the SHIB ecosystem as it continues to evolve, with expectations of further developments and potential surprises on the horizon.
