Shiba Inu: Whale Loses $6.3 Million for Selling 421 Billion Tokens

A Shiba Inu whale sold 421.6 billion SHIB tokens early Sunday morning for an average price of $0.000009437. What’s surprising about this transaction is that the whale sold SHIB for a massive loss. The sell-off made the whale lose $6.32 million even after holding the tokens for two and a half years. The mysterious whale took a loss of 61.4% from exiting the SHIB token.

The whale purchased 421.6 billion Shiba Inu tokens in November 2022, days after SHIB reached its all-time high of $0.00008616. The big wallet holder had accumulated SHIB for a price of $0.0000993 and held on to it from November 2021 to February 2024.
