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.
