On Thursday, Shiba Inu fell as investors claimed profits from a crypto whale that moved $2.3 billion worth coins out of their wallet. This was in an extremely turbulent week that saw another major crypto exchange delay listing the token.
Shiba inu briefly overtook Dogecoin as the ninth largest cryptocurrency. It was last down 13.6% last week at $0.00005657. The overnight price dropped to $0.00005610.
The evidence that the second largest holder of shiba Inu had moved up to 40 trillion tokens out of their wallet led to this latest leg-down. This is often considered a sign of a larger sale.
Although the wallet was inactive for some time, people believed that the user had lost the key to it. However, this was not the case.
