The Shiba Inu team recently announced that it is planning to dive into the metaverse sphere with the launch of Shiberse in 2022. But, despite the token's intriguing ecosystem and whales filling their bags with millions of the meme token, the price of Shiba Inu continues to dip. After the recent market correction and Shiba Inu's recovery, many Ethereum whale wallets accumulated SHIB. The meme token surged in buying volume during its price recovery.

Data from WhaleStats reveal that over $88 million worth of Shiba Inu tokens had been accumulated by the largest ETH whale wallets in a day. Two top transactions in the top 1000-Ethereum addresses were $40 million and $34 million worth of SHIB, which is now the second-largest non-Ethereum whale holding among the ERC-20 tokens. The massive transactions did not have any impact on the trend reversal in Shiba Inu price.
