Prior to the Shibarium launch, SHIB development activity and burn rate are increasing as Ethereum whales buy Shiba Inu coins.
Whales are after SHIB and these altcoins
Investors who have a large amount of tokens in their account in the crypto money market are called whales. Since the blockchain technology is transparent, all transactions made by whales can be tracked. The on-chain data analysis company WhaleStats has announced the 5 most purchased tokens by whales in the Ethereum ecosystem in the new year. These tokens are:
- Polygon (MATIC)
- Shiba Inu (SHIB)
- Curve (CRV)
- REN
- Chiliz (CHZ)
Polygon (MATIC) has recently been recorded as the altcoin that whales have traded the most. The popular project has also made significant progress in recent weeks. Meta announced a collaboration with Polygon in the last quarter of 2022. Accordingly, Meta’s application, Instagram, will work with Polygon in the NFT field. MATIC has a market capitalization of over $7 billion. MATIC, which went up to $2.92 for a period, is currently trading at $0.78. SHIB has large communities, especially in countries such as the USA and Turkey. SHIB is also among the altcoins most owned by Ethereum whales.
Altcoin preferences
Ren is one of the most popular projects recently. The project offers Wrap service for cross-chain coin transfer. The project developers have managed to connect to 11 different blockchain networks so far. In addition, the whales opened transactions for the DeFi platform Curve (CRV) and the Fan Token service Chiliz (CHZ).
In addition to these, the other altcoin project is Chainlink (LINK). However, Chainlink developers have prepared a new staking program. After that, the whales started not to use this altcoin as much as before in their trading transactions. Whales have not made a clear choice between Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC). Both fixed currencies are kept in the accounts in equal amounts. However, USDC is preferred for transactions.
