SHIB Whale Sells Billions After 2.5-Year Hold

The prevalence of meme coins has been an undeniable subsect of the digital asset sector in the last several years. With tokens like Dogecoin (DOGE) gaining much renown, the industry has seen interest in these cryptocurrencies increasing. Specifically, that growth is tied closely to the overall increase in utility of the various networks.

One of the leaders in this area is Shiba Inu, who has seen a whale sell more than 421 billion SHIB as the price seeks some positive momentum. The sale was surprising as it took place after the whale held the tokens for more than 2.5 years. Moreover, the tokens were reportedly sold at a loss.
