The buying rampage of Shiba Inu tokens by Ethereum whales does not seem to be ceasing anytime soon. Over the past week, these whales seem to have made it their mission to accumulate as much of the meme coin as possible, adding trillions of tokens to their balances collectively in the same time period. Recently, the fourth largest Ethereum whale jumped on the bandwagon.

SHIB Profitability

Shiba Inu had made its own fair share of millionaires last year when it emerged as the unlikely breakout star of the year. The cryptocurrency had surged so high and so fast that it had gathered a massive community behind it. This would continue for a while. However, once the downtrend started, it seemed to be a long way down until the majority of investors were in losses.

This is still continuing today as more Shiba Inu investors are recording losses the those in profit. According to data from IntoTheBlock, only 35% of all SHIB holders are currently in profit, presumably those that got into the digital asset early. 58% of all investors are in loss, and only 4% of investors are in the neutral territory.

As for the price of SHIB, it continues to trend around the $0.00002 level. There has not been much momentum in the digital asset in recent times and even massive purchases by whales have not done much to push the price upwards.
