<p lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">The aforementioned tweet stated that a cryptocurrency whale that set up his wallet eight years ago (in 2016) has made another large transaction to U.S.-based <a href="https://u.today/billions-of-shiba-inu-shib-by-coinbase-in-24-hours-whats-happening" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto exchange Coinbase</a>, the only publicly traded exchange in the country so far.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">This whale bought 12,427 ETH on Poloniex at an average price of $11. Now, they are selling 4,153 ETH at $2,984 per coin – that is whopping 27,027.27% growth. The ETH they sent to Coinbase is now worth more than $12 million in fiat.</p>
