SHIB becomes the biggest holding by USD value for ETH whales

Another tweet shared by WhaleStats shows that SHIB has been reaching other milestones as well. At the moment, the second largest meme cryptocurrency is the biggest coin by USD value among the top 1,000 ETH whales.

Besides, SHIB has clinched FTT and made it into the largest ERC-20 holding for the aforementioned ETH whales; SHIB now comes second after ETH on the top 10 list of ETH whales’ crypto holdings.

The meme token now constitutes 16.85% of their portfolios. That is $1,822,731,714 in fiat. The ETH whales also hold $1,738,099,872 worth of FTT, or 16.07% of their portfolios.

MATIC concludes this list, sitting in the last spot (2.71%, worth $293,883,954), with MANA just holding just one higher position.
