At the time of the disclosure, the transferred SHIB tokens held a value exceeding $44.4 million. However, according to Etherscan data, the value has since increased by $1,119,263, reaching $45.57 million at the time of this report.
The weight of this transaction prompted bullish comments from the crypto community. Besides, the mystery surrounding the sender and recipient further fueled speculation.
Etherscan data indicates the originating address is a new wallet with just three transactions. Similarly, the receiving address had only one transaction to its name.
Although the movement might suggest strategic actions by Shiba Inu whales to capitalize on the unfolding bull market, a closer examination of blockchain data reveals a connection with a centralized exchange.
In particular, on-chain data suggested that the 4.23 trillion SHIB recipient was the Bitvavo crypto exchange. This trading outlet has gained recognition for its characteristic movements of Shiba Inu tokens between new wallet addresses.
Additionally, Whale Alert documented multiple instances of similar trillion-unit SHIB token transfers between two undisclosed wallets in the past seven days.
Furthermore, data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock affirmed a phenomenal spike in Shiba Inu whale transactions.
