A new report shows that billions of SHIB tokens have been moved from major crypto exchanges by some whales amid the general crypto market rise. These events come shortly after new Shibarium updates were announced by co-founder Shytoshi Kusama.
In a recent update by Arkham – a blockchain deanonymizing platform, nearly 5 billion SHIB tokens (4.7 Billion SHIB) were transferred from addresses linked to top cryptocurrency exchanges.
Meanwhile, data from CoinMarketCap shows that SHIB joined the global crypto market in recovery as it has increased by 7.28% in the last 24 hours. The price surge can also be attributed to a recent ruling in the lawsuit between Ripple and the Security and Exchange Commission. The verdict by the Judge states that XRP is not a security.
