BlueWhale0073 Snaps Up Over 215 Billion Shiba Inu Amid Price Drop.

Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) decline has enticed prominent Ethereum whales to augment their holdings in the well-known dog-themed cryptocurrency.

Given the current trading price of Shiba Inu (SHIB) at around $0.00001034, prominent investors in Ethereum (ETH) see this as a favorable time to increase their holdings in SHIB and continue to do so without slowing down.
