According to data from the Ethereum explorer Etherscan, the transfer occurred at 11:58 (UTC) today. The transaction involved a substantial amount of SHIB tokens, precisely 4.114 trillion, which translates to a value of approximately $32.8 million. Remarkably, the recipient address received its first-ever transaction, indicating that it is a newly-activated address. On the other hand, the sender’s address received the SHIB tokens from two other wallets in multiple transactions spanning from June 16 to July 12. The origin of these funds can be traced back to an exchange wallet.
Interestingly, this latest whale transaction follows the movement of 4 trillion SHIB tokens by an old Shiba Inu whale, which had remained dormant for 157 days. The whale address, after awakening, distributed the 4 trillion tokens among eight different addresses. Subsequently, the same whale sent out more tokens, bringing the total outflow to 10 trillion SHIB tokens.
