Cryptocom moves massive Shiba Inu.
Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange, Crypto.com moved $269.59 Million worth of Shiba Inu (SHIB) to the new address in the past hour. The new address, as a result, becomes the 4th biggest Shiba inu holder.
Crypto.com recently transferred a staggering 24,939,482,510,233 (24.93T) SHIB, worth $269,595,805 ($269.59M) from one of its wallets tagged “Crypto.com 3” to the new wallet through six separate transactions in the past hour, Etherscan.io data reports.
This makes Crypto.com’s new wallet the 4th biggest holder of Shiba Inu.
Kris, the CEO of Crypto.com, took to his Twitter handle to clarify the reason behind this move. He explained that the transfer is part of Crypto.com’s routine custody operations, where they rebalance assets across new addresses to maintain the safety and security of their wallets. He further said that the transfer would not affect customers in any way. The company has also updated its asset dashboard on Nansen.
As part of our usual custody operations to ensure continued safety and security, we will be rebalancing several assets across new addresses. This will have no impact for our customers and we have updated our asset dashboard on Nansen for full transparency. No need to FUD, thanks.
