With data obtained from Whale Stats, Cryptopotato has informed that $1.7 billion (about Rs 13 thousand crore) has been invested in the native token of the main cryptocurrency exchange FTX. The FTT token holds approximately 19% of the total holdings. Next up is the popular memecoin Shiba Inu (SHIB). The top 100 whales hold SHIB tokens worth $1.27 billion (approximately Rs 9,700 crore), which accounts for about 14.15% of their portfolio.
At the same time, the website also reported in a recent report that one of the big ETH whales (number 216 at the time of writing the news) had bought SHIB tokens worth $89 million (about Rs 680 crore) in a single transaction.
The report further states that less popular tokens account for 7.5% of the portfolio of these whales, and that they also hold wallet addresses such as USDC and USDT stablecoins, as well as tokens such as BEST, MATIC, Decentraland’s MANA, Chainlink, etc.
The figures mentioned above do not reflect the share of ETH, the native token of Ethereum. The report says that as of Wednesday, ETH 2.0 depositor contracts held 10,694,610 ETH, which is valued at around $31.9 billion (approximately Rs 2.43 lakh crore).
However, even after holding such a huge value, the ETH 2.0 depositor contract is not the biggest whale. Citing data from Staking Rewards, the report says that currently Solana token tops with $36 billion (about Rs 2.75 lakh crore).
