Reportedly, the anonymous whale named “BlueWhale0073,” according to Whalestats Wallet Tracker, purchased just under 201 billion Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens. This placed the whale in 254th place on the aforementioned tracker platform.
More than $2 million deposited
A total purchase of 200,899,251,805 Shiba Inu Tokens was detected by Whalestats. The crypto whale that purchased these tokens paid approximately $2,240,026 at the time of purchase.
Remarkably, this purchase appears to have been made for purely speculative purposes, as the crypto whale’s wallet currently only holds a “small amount” of Shiba Inu tokens. Namely, the pie chart on the wallet page shows that the incoming Shiba Inu tokens make up only 35.62% of the total.
Shytoshi focuses on release Shibarium
On Monday, the lead developer of Shiba Inu and Shibarium, who is known to the crypto community by the pseudonym Shytoshi Kusama, posted a tweet stating that he plans to stop following projects associated with Shibarium.
He gave the reason for this that the Layer 2 solution is now more often used for the promotion of these projects. Instead, Shytoshi focuses on the Beta release of Shibarium. He also shared that thousands of new submissions have been submitted to Shibarium developers through the recently published entry form, many of which are “incredible” according to the developer.
Finally, the developer also emphasized that once Shibarium launches, the only official decentralized exchange will be ‘Shibaswap’ for the SHIB community.
