While looking into the top 100 ETH wallets data for the past 24 hours, SHIB appears to be the 8th most accumulated token, and these biggest wallets have added 234,813,442 (234.81M) tokens to their portfolio on average.
Besides accumulation, the burning of SHIB tokens has also gained momentum. As per our recent report, over 1.99 billion Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens have been taken out of circulation within the last seven days, and over 185.39 million SHIB during the previous 24 hours.
The massive accumulation among whales and the whopping number of burn transactions are good signs, but the current circulating supply of 549 trillion tokens may cap the potential growth in the near term.
At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00002426, down -1.51% over the last day. A 24-hour trading volume for the popular dog-themed cryptocurrency is up 19.83% compared to the previous day and currently stands at $639,881,749 ($639.88M).
