SHIB Falls From 10th Spot As Whales Move To Other Crypto Assets

As investors look to consolidate profitable positions, big moves are being made in the crypto market, and recently top Ethereum whales have switched their assets from SHIB to other coins.

Vital data from WhaleStats reveal that the top 100 whales on the Ethereum blockchain have switched allegiances from the SHIB coin.

In seven days, Shiba Inu has risen to 8.38% showing signs of a positive trend. However, it is still 88.91% below the all-time high of $0.00008845 achieved on October 28, 2021. Whales dump SHIB Holdings However – It Is Still Relevant To Investors.
