According to the recent Twitter/X post published by prominent cryptocurrency tracker Whale Alert, approximately an hour ago, an astonishing amount of SHIB, which exceeded a whopping trillion meme coins, was deposited to the KuCoin exchange. The latter is currently under <a href="https://u.today/breaking-kucoin-and-its-founders-hit-with-criminal-charges-in-us" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">fire from the US Department of Justice</a>.
While users have been withdrawing their crypto from this charged trading platform, including tremendous amounts of Shiba Inu, the mysterious whale has moved $43.5 million in the SHIB equivalent to one of KuCoin’s addresses.

The aforementioned data source tweeted that a whopping 1,407,941,951,453 SHIB (evaluated at $43,508,926 at the time of the transfer making) exited a mysterious crypto wallet and was deposited to the KuCoin exchange. The latter has made headlines this week in light of the charges given to the platform and two of its founders by the US Department of Justice.

Earlier this week, the aforesaid crypto trading venue saw a twice as big amount of SHIB – <a href="https://u.today/shiba-inu-news-massive-2-trillion-shib-exit-from-kucoin-amid-legal-storm" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">2,000,000,000,000 meme coins</a> – leaving it after the DoJ slammed KuCoin with charges of violating the Bank Secrecy Act, which led to failing to maintain a firm laundering money program thus providing a platform for illegal financial activities. Besides, according to DoJ, KuCoin received funds from the sanctioned crypto transactions mixer Tornado Cash and never reported any suspicious crypto transfers received from it.
In both cases, however, the initiator of these mammoth-sized transactions was KuCoin itself, according to the additional data provided by Arkham Intelligence and Etherscan.
However, gigantic fund outflows were indeed registered from KuCoin and they totalled approximately <a href="https://u.today/kucoins-suffers-from-500-million-exodus" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$500 million</a>, according to an earlier U.Today report published this week.
