MEXC’s Bone Holdings

Notably, data from the Ethereum-based explorer affirmed the claim that MEXC is BONE’s third most significant holder. The 12,506,000 BONE tokens MEXC holds have a market value of nearly $13 million. 

Interestingly, Tech Fusion noted that MEXC could as well claim the title holder for BONE as it is the largest single wallet holder of the token. This view stems from the fact that the two addresses leading the exchange are smart contracts.

Moreover, recent significant inflows to MEXC solidified its position as the third-largest holder of BONE. Between August 20 and 24, the exchange saw a constant inflow of BONE tokens. MEXC received nearly 500,000 BONE in over 75 transactions within the four days in August.

Also, Tech Fusion mentioned that despite this significant holding of BONE, MEXC sits at the eighth position in BONE trading volume among centralized exchanges. However, while CoinMarketCap ranked the exchange eighth, MEXC’s 24-hour BONE trading volume puts it in third place.

According to CoinMarketCap data, crypto market participants traded $489,672 worth of BONE in the past day. Leading the 24-hour trading volume pack were Biconomy and Huobi exchanges with $765,905 and $680,129 volume.

Furthermore, BONE ranks among the top ten cryptocurrencies residing in MEXC’s publicly known wallets. CoinMarketCap data indicated that the $12,618,521 worth of BONE MEXC holds outranks the exchange’s Shiba Inu holding by nearly threefold.

It is worth mentioning that BONE is the official gas token of the Shibarium blockchain. The Shiba Inu team recently introduced a wrapped version of the coin, WBONE, for better interoperability. Additionally, Bone serves as the governance ticket for the ShibaSwap DEX.
