According to Etherscan.io data, three anonymous wallets transferred a significant amount of SHIB tokens, totaling 6,087,952,185,063 (6.08 trillion) in value and worth approximately $65.44 million, to a wallet linked to Coinbase known as “Coinbase 10.” The transfers were made simultaneously about two hours ago, and all three wallets have since been left with zero SHIB. The identity and purpose of the wallets behind the transfers remain unknown, but the significant amount involved suggests that it could be a large-scale transaction or investment.
Details of the Movement and the Transaction
WhaleAlert, a well-known blockchain data tracking platform, has corroborated this transaction through a tweet. The tweet verifies the transfer of a substantial amount of SHIB tokens worth over $65 million.
