On December 20, 2022, Lookonchain highlighted the transfer of 200 billion SHIB to Crypto.com from this Smart Money wallet. Notably, five hours after the transaction, the value of Shiba Inu plummeted by 7%.

According to Lookonchain, an analytical overview of its trade pattern shows that it mostly buys SHIB when the price is low and sells at a higher price. A profit of $7 million was raked in due to this trading behavior last August.

Smart money wallets are often closely watched by other investors and traders because they can provide clues about market trends and direction. The term is colloquially used in crypto to refer to accounts known for making profitable trades.
