Whales’ SHIB holdings shrink by more than 50%

Data provided by WhaleStats shows that compared to just recently, the total amount of SHIB held by the Ethereum whales has seen a drastic decrease. As early as last week, on August 3, these wallets held more than $600,000,000 worth of Shiba Inu.

Roughly similar amount was spotted in their wallets by WhaleStats on August 7 – that was 10 percent of the total SHIB supply in circulation.
