The crypto lender is still selling assets and currently holds 5.17 Trillion Shiba Inu tokens alongside Chainlink, Ethereum and Avalanche. Interestingly, despite holding nearly $57.78 million worth of meme coin, Shiba Inu tokens, Voyager chose to sell its Ethereum holdings. 

Voyager is sitting on 148,774 Ethereum tokens worth $233.5 million. It remains to be seen whether the bankrupt crypto lender will shed the rest of its Ethereum holdings or the meme coin is next. 

Shiba Inu price yielded nearly 14% losses for holders since February 27. It is a likely scenario that Voyager would line up to sell its SHIB holdings once the Dogecoin-killer meme coin recovers from its recent losses.

The Shiba Inu community is awaiting the launch of layer-2 scaling solution Shibarium. The launch of the scaling solution could act as a bullish catalyst, fueling the meme coin’s recovery.
