Pepe

In a significant gust of developments witnessed across the cryptocurrency realm recently, meme coins like PEPE, SHIB, and DOGE appear to be gaining substantial traction among crypto market enthusiasts across the globe following a noteworthy price rally witnessed by these coins. Among these coins, PEPE and SHIB rallied a torrent of speculative buzz among crypto market traders and investors globally as a smart whale recently dumped a staggering 1.97 trillion PEPE to a CEX, whereas it accumulated nearly 76 billion SHIB instead.
Meanwhile, both PEPE and SHIB rallied today, birthing speculations over the whale’s changing of positions. Shiba Inu’s recent advancements appear to primarily support this massive change of position, following the smart whale’s nabbing of colossal profits with its PEPE dump.

Subsequently, the address accumulated 75.9 billion SHIB, showcasing a change of position while also fueling additional speculations. These Shiba Inu coins, mentioned previously, were also acquired from Binance, hinting at the whale’s shift in interest.
Intriguingly, Shiba Inu’s recent noteworthy developments, including the imminent KININE launch, <a href="https://coingape.com/shiba-inu-coin-sheboshi-launch-propels-optimism-as-shibarium-transactions-spike/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SHEboshi’s</a> inception, continuous burning of SHIB, and partnership with Zama, among many others, appear to be primarily weighing in on the whale’s decision to dump one meme coin while accumulate the other.
