BTC Whale Accumulation Effect

After the market dip on May 1st, investors’ confidence was low. However, on May 3rd, Bitcoin whales injected $2,802,500,000 into the market as they bought the BTC dip at an average price of $59K, amassing 47,500 tokens in one day. Following this, the Bitcoin price spiked to $63,566, reviving market sentiments. As Bitcoin recovers by just 5% in value, meme coins like Shiba Inu are enjoying double-digit percentage gains.

Shiba Inu’s blockchain, Shibarium, completed the hard fork upgrade, which brought more rapid transactions and predictable gas fees to the community than ever before.

Japan’s Listing and Massive Shiba Inu Burns

Furthermore, Shiba Inu’s global price lit up following Binance Japan’s listing of the SHIB/JPY pair, which allows Japanese crypto enthusiasts to trade SHIB with their local currency. Shiba Inu soared by over 300% to $0.00011 on the exchange shortly after being listed. Exchanges like Kraken also introduced new margin trading pairs for SHIB on their platform.

The Robinhood exchange faced a large Shiba Inu token purchase by the whales, where a single whale stacked 1.75 trillion $SHIB tokens worth more than $40 million.
