Shiba Inu (SHIB) has once more climbed to the top 10 list of the most popular cryptocurrencies on the Ethereum chain over the last 24 hours. While this is going on, whales have been seen making significant SHIB moves as they buy and sell substantial amounts of meme coin.

The top 100 investors on Ethereum no longer hold large amounts of SHIB in their wallets. As per the table of crypto assets held by the largest wallets on Ethereum, SHIB is no longer not among the top 10 holdings but not even among the top 20. Now, most of their comprised portfolio consists of stablecoins USDC and USDT with such coins as DAI and wrapped Bitcoin, following them on the list of the biggest holdings.
In what has been a challenging year for cryptocurrencies, marked by failures in the market and declining valuations, Shiba Inu has added almost 250,000 new holders. Digital currencies are underperforming due to the Fed’s tightening monetary policy and a series of major industry firms going bankrupt, including Terra, Celsius and FTX.
We have gained over 250k $SHIB holders in the last year. Given the circumstances, this is quite remarkable 🔥🔥
