Shiba Inu posted a rebound on May 10th as Whales or massive holders scurried to purchase the dip in the midst of its drop to low of $0.000013 during the May 9 cryptomarket carnage. This subsequently led to Shiba Inu ranking as the eighth most purchased asset by the top 500 ETH whales, as reported earlier by WhaleStats.
The blockchain data tracker reports on ETH whale “BlueWhale0073” buying 191,883,317,886 SHIB, valued at $3,098,915, within the last 24 hours.
The situation happens to be different for the top 100 ETH whales as SHIB appears to have relinquished this position to Synthetix (SNX). Shiba Inu’s price tumbled in a fresh market selloff on May 11 to attain lows of $0.0000112, so it seems that the top whales may be looking for a comfortable entry point in the buying market.
However, Shiba Inu remains the top holding for the top 1,000 ETH wallets, as these whales hold $898,934,389 SHIB collectively. Shiba Inu is attempting a rebound after dipping to intraday lows of $0.000011.
