Shiba Inu (SHIB) is an Ethereum-based altcoin known as a meme coin that features the Shiba Inu hunting dog.

It is considered by many to be an alternative to the highly popular Dogecoin (DOGE) cryptocurrency token and has a vast number of supporters, which is a community that goes by the name of the SHIBArmy.

Whales are scooping up SHIB tokens on a massive scale

According to a Twitter post by WhaleStats on March 21, which is a blockchain tracker website, the fourth largest well-known whale of Ethereum, known as "Tsunade," has purchased 1,440,208,121 SHIB tokens which at the time of the purchase were worth $1,185,696 USD. This was made through a single transaction. 

However, he isn’t the only whale to do this. In fact, according to a Twitter post by WhaleStats posted on March 19, a mysterious ETH whale which was ranked 216 on WhaleStats, purchased 3,713,675,424,944 SHIB tokens which at the time of the purchase were worth $89,128,210 USD.

Prior to this, on March 16, another mysterious whale bought 271,370,420,624 SHIB tokens which at the time of the purchase were worth $271,370,420,624 USD.

Let's go over the token to see how its value has been shaped thus far.
