The broader crypto market had shown positive progress in price within the last week, including meme coins like Dogecoin and SHIB. However, its performance over the past 24 hours speaks otherwise. The market recorded a 3.30% downward price trend within 24 hours. While several other tokens are displaying negative moves due to the sudden change, SHIB has made a hit with the dip.

One of the top Ethereum whales has pitched up to the leading meme tokens, Shiba Inu, to buy the dip. Reports from Whalestats revealed that an ETH Whale address known as BlueWhale0113 purchased over 321 billion of the token in one transaction. The value of the Shiba Inu he brought is about $3.72 million.

The whale’s wallet currently holds SHIB coins worth up to $2.49 million. This constitutes about 7.45% of their total crypto portfolio. Also, the whale account’s most significant held token is Polygon (MATIC), having approximately 11.49% of the entire wallet holding.

Further, in its report, Whalestats noted that the largest of the 500 ETH whales hold Shiba Inu tokens worth over $652 million. Regarding the leading 100 Ethereum Whales, SHIB tokens remain their wallets’ most significant held crypto coins. These SHIB holdings are worth more than $510 million.

Though prices have dropped within the global crypto market, meme tokens’ trading volume is gradually skyrocketing.

However, a report from Coin98Insight showed that Shiba Inu has up to $872 million from the cumulative trading volume.
