Shiba Inu (SHIB), a popular meme currency, comes in second. SHIB accounts for roughly 12.5 percent of the non-ETH assets of the top 500 Ethereum whales, totaling more than $1.53 billion. Shiba Inu, the 15th most valuable crypto asset by market capitalization, is currently selling at $0.000023, up 1% in the last 24 hours.

In other news, the Shiba Inu token has reclaimed first place as the market’s largest USD-valued holding on whale addresses. At press time, SHIB’s entire assets were valued at $1.6 billion, while FTT’s were valued at $1.4 billion.

The tokens are not surging up or demonstrating any form of positive volatility movement, according to Shiba Inu’s TradingView chart, indicating that the increase in the holding’s value is solely due to whale buying.
