Binance exchange platform holds nearly 16% of Shiba Inu’s circulating supply

Binance, considered one of the largest cryptocurrency exchange platforms in the world, holds nearly 16% of the circulating supply of Shiba Inu.

The exchange is one of the largest holders of the Dogecoin-killer meme coin in the crypto ecosystem, while competitors like KuCoin hold 4.15 trillion tokens, Crypto.com holds upwards of 55 trillion and Gate.io holds 5.28 trillion SHIB. 

Binance revealed Shiba Inu’s popularity among traders on its platform, ranking it third among the most watched cryptocurrencies throughout 2022. The first two most watched cryptos are the two largest assets in the ecosystem, Bitcoin and Ethereum. 

Shiba Inu whale activity drives trade volume higher

The 100 biggest whales on the Ethereum blockchain continued accumulating Shiba Inu tokens, through the recent dip in the meme coin’s price. SHIB token transfer by 100 largest whales on the Ethereum network recently hit a peak on January 7, accounting for the movement of 28.35 million SHIB tokens.

Based on data from coinmarketcap.com, Shiba Inu’s trade volume is up 93% as whales and retail investors increase their activity and scoop up more SHIB or transfer value across the Ethereum-based token’s network. 

Whale activity is not typically a bullish signal for Shiba Inu, however a spike in trade volume and increasing large volume transfers on the SHIB network signal rising relevance and utility of the token among holders in the ecosystem.
