According to data published by Whalestats, the “Light” whale wallet bought 49,998,916,299 Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens, worth $1,211,473. The whales were using the bathroom to pocket their best coins, and it turns out the Shiba Inu is one of the favorites. With Russian troops storming into Ukraine, the world was clouded with a lot of uncertainty. And Russia’s actions are costing everyone dearly. The crypto market witnessed a bloodbath, with the prices of every major token falling. However, as some believe, each dip offers an opportunity to grow, or to put it simply, “buy the dip.” That is exactly what the great whales have been doing. With prices volatile, the “Light” wallet, one of the largest Ethereum whales, went on to use the drop and make big purchases.
