We recently had a fascinating event when a 4-year-old $SHIB whale, “0x3de,” dumped $5.39 million worth of tokens while traders were optimistic about President Donald Trump’s recently launched tokens. As per the information provided by Spot On Chain, this whale dumped 216 billion $SHIB for 1,587 $ETH, which was approximately $5.39 million.
Unveiling the Whale’s Profits
The whale bought 664.22 billion $SHIB in February 2021 for $4,510. They have managed to sell off large portions of these assets and, in the process, realize profits of over $15 million, an astonishing 30,000% profit for the investment made. Whale still retains 38.4 billion $SHIB worth $832,000, which clearly indicates that they still have faith in the particular asset.
Memecoins and Market Trends
This sell-off occurs as the memecoin market responds to renewed interest in a high-profile memecoin. The activity of the whale targets to explain that investors getting into meme coins early enough stand to benefit from market fluctuations. According to Spot On Chain, this sale could have been prompted by Trump tokens, which caused turmoil as they strategized to profit from the new token.
Parallel Developments: $NEIRO Whale Activity
Another whale did a fascinating transfer with the address ‘0x3cf’ that unloaded 2.16 billion $NEIRO tokens worth $1.16 million at Binance. Initially, the whale purchased these tokens in August of 2024 for only 34.65 ETH (87,900 USD). The profit that the whale could make if it were to be liquidated is about $1.08 million, a 1,224% profit from the early investment within five months.
Implications for the Market
Such whales’ activities indicate that timing and adequate strategy are crucial in the immensely unpredictable crypto world. All $SHIB and $NEIRO transactions demonstrate that experienced traders rely on price dynamics to get the most out of the trade. These cases make retail investors realize that such developments bring huge profits to the early users and investors, although at high risk.
Conclusion
Given that meme coins are still garnering attention, current patterns of $SHIB and $NEIRO long-term holders reflect the prospects and risks of this segment. Even though the token release by Trump is setting the stage for these influential trades, what forms in real focus is how the whales are interplaying and dominating the crypto markets.
