Data shared by WhaleStats shows that a few hours ago, SHIB was again on the list of favorite crypto assets of the top 100 Ethereum investors.
SHIB is the biggest token by USD value
The tweet has it that the second most popular meme coin is among the top 10 coins that these ETH whales are after.
At present, however, SHIB has been pushed from the position of the token with the highest USD value by FTX Token (FTT) and it is now second after it on the list and third after Ethereum.
According to the webiste of WhaleStats, the 100 biggest whales on the Ethereum blockchain now hold a total of $1,279,594,890 worth of SHIB. This stands for 56,344,997,357,992 tokens or 14.47 percent of these whales comprised portfolio.
Former SHIB whales expands portfolio
Earlier this year, U.Today reported that the top 9 Ethereum whale “Gimli” (named after the dwarf character from JRR Tolkien’s iconic fantasy novel “The Lord of the Rings”) has repeatedly acquired large amounts of Shiba Inu – 50 billion tokens or Suite.
On March 3, “Gimli” purchased almost half a trillion Shiba Inu – a whopping 442,637,867,858 tokens which back then equaled $11,561,701.
However, to date, the whale, according to the WhaleStats page dedicated to its crypto riches, does not hold any meme coins. But he bought a total of 300,290 from the ApeCoin (APE) trend worth $4,020,087.
Several other whales have also bought large lumps of this cryptocurrency – 600,000 APE worth roughly $8.4 million.
APE price soars 1,232%, then drops sharply
On March 17, the token in question skyrocketed 1,232% from $1 to an all-time high of $39.40.
By now, however, APE has gone down to $13.40 – 66.16 percent down from the all-time high. APE has a market cap of $3,699,481,829.
The circulating supply of the coin is equal to 277,500,000 APE, the total being 1,000,000,000 coins.
