Shiba Inu Soars Knocking Dogecoin Down a Notch — 20 Holders Own 75% of the SHIB Supply

The meme-based digital asset shiba inu has entered the top ten largest crypto assets by market capitalization, knocking dogecoin down a notch. In the last 30 days, the shiba inu token climbed 976% capturing a market cap of over $40 billion. Meanwhile, the concentration of shiba inu whales is still quite large these days alongside the massive circulating supply of 549 trillion tokens.

Shiba Inu Taps All-Time Price Highs Knocking Down the Dogefather

This week the crypto asset shiba inu (SHIB) reached an all-time high (ATH) on a few occasions, including today, during the early morning trading sessions. SHIB’s ATH was around $0.00008616 and then the value subsequently dipped 11% below the high. SHIB’s market valuation has soared to $40 billion and it has allowed the shiba inu token market to enter the top ten crypto assets. Shiba inu managed to knock dogecoin (DOGE) down a notch as well from the ninth position to the tenth.

SHIB is mostly traded with tether (USDT) these days as USDT commands over 76% of all SHIB’s trades during the last 24 hours. SHIB/USDT pairs are followed by BUSD (13.13%), TRY (4.96%), EUR (3.10%), and USD (0.84%).

The top SHIB exchange today is Binance followed by Huobi Pro, Okex, Coinbase, and Poloniex. While BTC’s trade volume is around $45 billion on Thursday, SHIB’s is just a hair lower with $41 billion in 24-hour swaps across the globe.

Shiba Inu Whale Concentration 75% for 20 Unique Addresses

Meanwhile, there’s a whole lot of SHIB in circulation, even after Vitalik Buterin gave away 1 trillion tokens and the network’s deflationary features. Today there are 549 trillion SHIB tokens in existence, which is far from being scarce like other crypto assets such as bitcoin. Bitcoin’s whale concentration is far lower as the rich list is around 14.65% while SHIB’s rich list is shockingly different. BTC’s concentration by large holders, according to Into the Block stats, is only 11%.

According to coincarp.com’s data, 10 holders are hoarding 71.90% of the circulating supply. Out of 838,305 unique addresses (holders), 20 holders command 75.95% of the supply. As the circulating supply of BTC on Wednesday is 18,856,937, it is much smaller than the 549,153,115,436,361 SHIB in existence today. The top 100 SHIB holders out of the 838,305 own 80.48% of the SHIB supply.

Following the mysterious whale transfer, last Wednesday, Mt Gox published an official update from the court trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi that explains the court is “currently preparing to make repayments” to creditors. Mt Gox creditors have been wait...

Fidelity Discusses Bitcoin as Portfolio Insurance — Could Soon Stand in ‘Stark Contrast’ to Path Fiat Currencies Take

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, says that bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance. The firm notes that the cryptocurrency “may soon stand in stark contrast to the path that the rest of the world and fiat currencies may take — namely the path of increased supply, additional currency creation, and central bank balance sheet expansion.” Fidelity Says Bitcoin Could Be Portfolio Insurance Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, recently published a research study titled “The Rising Dollar and Bitcoin.” The research outlines “how bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance” as the rising dollar impacts global currency markets. “The strengthening U.S. dollar is wreaking havoc among other countries and may put pressure on the Federal Reserve to soon reverse its tightening monetary actions, something that has precedent based on 1985’s Plaza Accord,” Fidelity explained. In addition, “more monetary debasement may be needed to ...

Economists Discuss Russia, China Potentially Developing Gold-Backed Currency That Could Undermine US Dollar

Economists have weighed in on reports that China and Russia may be developing a new gold-backed currency that could undermine the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency. Russia and China May Be Developing Gold-Backed Currency Several experts have shared their views on Russia and China potentially creating a new gold-baked currency, Fox Business reported Saturday, emphasizing that China has been buying up huge quantities of gold while Russia was forced off the U.S. dollar due to sanctions imposed on the country following its invasion of Ukraine. The news outlet noted that some experts have cautioned that these moves, along with the closer relationship that has developed between Moscow and Beijing, point to the likelihood of China attempting to launch a gold-backed currency. However, neither Russia nor China has officially confirmed plans for such a currency. Craig Singleton, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former U.S. diplomat,...
