It is interesting that Shiba Inu’s spectacular surge earlier in August was preceded by a significant increase in major transactions. Shiba Inu is currently on the move this week and is up 34% in the last 24 hours while the crypto market has been rather flat, reported an on-chain analytics company Santiment. Whale activity on $SHIB has been quite high, which is not a coincidence. The most in four months, 433 trades totaling $100k+ have been made. Santiment also pointed out that the timeframe of the most recent economic sell-off corresponded with a surge in major transactions occurring on the network. Immediately following their individual Tuesday and Sunday price peaks, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu both had significant price corrections.
