- Over 668,000 addresses hold between 100 billion and 10 trillion SHIB, controlling 302 trillion tokens.
- Large holders are consolidating their positions, with fewer addresses controlling increasingly larger amounts of SHIB.
The latest data on Shiba Inu (SHIB) reveal a notable concentration of tokens within a small number of big holders, which highlights the growing impact of whale investors in the SHIB ecosystem.
IntoTheBlock data show that addresses between 100 billion and 10 trillion SHIB taken together control 302 trillion tokens, which is a sizable fraction of the total amount on circulation. These about 668,000 addresses, which show the increasing concentration of big-scale investors, are significantly influencing the market movements of the Shiba Inu token.
Top-Tier SHIB Holders Continue to Consolidate as Address Numbers Fluctuate
Also, with addresses ranging between 100 billion and 1 trillion SHIB accumulating 173 trillion tokens, this concentration of holdings is further broken down and shows a 1.01% rise over the past month.
Reflecting a little increase of 0.20% in the same period, addresses in the 1 trillion to 10 trillion SHIB category currently control over 129.51 trillion tokens.
Though the total amount of tokens kept by large-scale investors is increasing, the number of holders shows occasional volatility.
For example, the total holdings in this category have increased while the number of addresses owning 100 billion to 1 trillion SHIB has somewhat dropped 1.89%. This implies a consolidation among top-tier investors since fewer addresses are accumulating bigger amounts of SHIB.
Furthermore, the more general SHIB ecosystem has seen changes in several address categories. From 10 billion to 100 billion SHIB, addresses holding between them have dropped 1.18%; today they have 58.57 trillion tokens.
Smaller holders with 1 billion to 10 billion SHIB have experienced a little rise of 1.12%, which comes to 19.97 trillion tokens. These movements draw attention to a tendency whereby the biggest accumulations stay with wealthier investors while mid-sized holders are only somewhat changing.
The general optimistic attitude toward the project most certainly determines the concentration of big SHIB holders. Recent occurrences, such as changes to the Shibarium ecosystem and ongoing token burning, have sparked growing attention.
Beside that, according to IntoTheBlock, 49% of SHIB investors are known to be in-the-money, or making profit. 5% are at-the-money or breaking even; 46% of holders are in out-of-the-money positions or loss.
Meanwhile, as of writing, the token is trading at $0.00001618, down 2.89% over the last 24 hours. With $496.63 million, the trading volume is quite strong.
Conversely, as we previously reported, Shiba Inu’s marketing initiatives are in full swing; Lucie, the Marketing Lead, recently revealed a brand-new action-packed game called Shiboshi Rush from PlayWithShib.
