U.Today - A colossal stash of 1.362 trillion (SHIB) tokens was swept off to an unidentified address. The transaction, which was detected by platform, took place less than 24 hours ago.

This vast sum of equates to a monetary value of around $8 million at current market prices. The mystery does not end there, however. This unnamed wallet is not just a one-trick pony focusing solely on Shiba Inu. In fact, it currently holds a variety of digital assets with a total value exceeding $80 million, with SHIB tokens making up over 10% of its entire portfolio.

Source: Interestingly, the massive transfer did not seem to negatively affect the token's market price. Shiba Inu maintained its value, dismissing concerns that this large transaction could trigger market fluctuations.

Diving deeper into this crypto enigma, there is a strong probability that the unidentified wallet is associated with Coinex exchange. It might function as a hot or cold wallet utilized for holding different assets. Coinex, like any major exchange, has a diverse array of wallets to manage and safeguard the diverse crypto assets of its users.

However, if this newly spotted wallet is owned by a whale with a diversified portfolio, this movement could suggest some significant future strategic moves involving Shiba Inu. However, the price of the token has not moved yet.
