According to recent analysis data, Shiba Inu remains the biggest asset in terms of total USD value in the portfolios of the best ETH whales; more than two billion SHIB have been burned since December

WhaleStats shared data that Shiba Inu remains the largest token by total USD value held by the top 1,000 Ethereum whales.

On January 27, FTT-SHIB and FTT switched places from time to time; However, Shiba Inu remains in this spot at press time. MATIC is the most traded cryptocurrency by the largest ETH whales at the time of writing.

Whales Own Nearly $1.5 Billion in SHIB

According to WhaleStats, the top 1,000 Ethereum whales currently have a staggering $1,450,500,335 in Shiba Inu. That’s 15.94% of their holdings. FTT is in second place here; the total amount held by ETH whales is slightly less in USD: $1,409,636,849. This is equal to 15.49% of the total amount of crypto owned by the largest ETH whales.
