  • Looking at this whale’s overall asset distribution reveals that his portfolio consists of 31.39% SHIB 59.62% ETH, and the rest is spread amongst other cryptocurrencies such as USDT and Chainlink (LINK).
  • At the time of this writing, the price has failed to react positively and trades predominantly flat on the day.
  • It’s also worth noting that the hype behind what was once the cryptocurrency that shocked the world seems to be fading across the board.
